Is this the global setting or the one specific to the host or service?  
They can be different.

Nagios doesn't believe it's supposed to send notifications. Either the  
notification_options for the host/service or contact don't include the  
notification type you are trying to send, their notification period  
doesn't include the time they're trying to be sent or the host/service  
isn't reaching a HARD state are the three most likely reasons. If you  
want another pair of eyes to help verify, you'll need to post those  
parts of the config (host/service definition, contactgroup definition,  
contact definition, timeperiod definition, nagios.log entries related  
to the host/service your troubleshooting, etc).

You could also take a peek at objects.cache (how nagios interpreted  
the config files) and status.dat (current information about hosts/ 
services including changes made via the CGI's) and verify that they  
are how you expect them to be.

Pretty much your only other option, if you're sure these settings are  
correct, is to enable debug mode. With nagios-2.x, that means a  
recompile, passing one or more of the following flags to ./configure --

--enable-DEBUG0 shows function entry and exit
--enable-DEBUG1 shows general info messages
--enable-DEBUG2 shows warning messages
--enable-DEBUG3 shows scheduled events (service and host checks... etc)
--enable-DEBUG4 shows service and host notifications
--enable-DEBUG5 shows SQL queries
--enable-DEBUGALL shows all debugging messages
