You've got notification_interval 0, which means it will only send one 
notification. I'm surprised you get any at all for your escalations 
where first_notification is higher than 1.

The delay before the first notification is most likely due to the fact 
that Nagios re-checks your host with retry_check_interval * 
interval_length seconds and only when max_check_attempts attempts have 
failed sends out the notification, while the GUI turns red immediately, 
but with a SOFT error state.
