 From the looks of it you are using the default "check_host_alive" check 
for the host - this is a fancy name for a ping check done for the host .

the other checks are using other TCP ports and protocols that your 
host/firewall allows and hence you get the "UP" for them .

If you had set a dependency of check_host_alive -> all services on host 
, then once the host "failed" all the checks on the server would stop 
and turn critical too.
