Nagios doesn't implement that type of logic. Some options that come to  
mind --

1) Create a contact per status. contact1 that sends e-mails only does  
so for critical services; contact2 that sends pages only does so for  
warning services.
2) Have one contact but multiple notification commands  
(service_notification_commands service-notify-by-email,service-notify- 
by-pager). -by-email and -by-pager contain simple logic to only work  
for critical or warning respectively.
3) Create one contact with one notification command. That notification  
command contains the simple logic to send an e-mail or send a page  
depending on the notification type.
4) ...
5) Profit!

This kind of configuration is discussed somewhat frequently on the  
list. The archives might provide more information.
