$STATETYPE$ will only be HARD or SOFT. You're looking for $SERVICESTATE$
or $HOSTSTATE$. You can't be selective about when Nagios executes the
event handler, but you can be particular about whether you actually do
anything or not based on those values. The example event handler script
on http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/eventhandlers.html does
exactly this.
