It could be any number of reasons.  It would help greatly if you could
post the relevant host, service, contact and contact group definitions
and any template definitions used by those.  Also, do you have
specific timeperiods associated with your service, contact or contact
groups?

Object inheritance is quite a deep topic as you'll see if you try
reading http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html
.

Cheers,

Jim
