Political Correct answers aside (hey I remember one dig... down a deep hole with a fab person who always smelled of spring flowers.... sigh... they could have gone to sleep for all I cared.... sigh)
That aside... If the person is not pulling their weight, and you are having to work harder - then a) mention this to your SUpervisor... (can cause friction) b) talk to them... a joke could be enough to get them working..... c) ask to work somewhere else..... d) take a photo of them.... and sell it to a workware catalogue.
This can be a problem in all aspects of life... the workmate that does less work than a small stone. They may not realise that the attitude they exhibit is in fact having a wider impact... if nobody tells them... they will one day either get sacked...or worse... become a Project Manager!
