If I understand what you're saying correctly, this is OK and expected.  
Based on your provided configuration, the status of the host will not  
be checked until a service on that host fails. The logic being that if  
a service is up on the host, the host itself must be up so there's no  
need to check it; just assume it's OK. Once a service failure happens,  
nagios then checks the host to make sure it wasn't the cause of the  
service failure and it's status, and Status Information will be  
updated appropriately.
