the contact, which will be shown some lines above (always post a 
complete debug log for a notification!), did not pass the viability

notifications_disabled, etc. so to conclude with, i'd highly advise you to

1/ post the contact object definition from the objects.cache
2/ post the complete service object definition from the objects.cache
3/ post the complete debug for this service and contact notification

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure 
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance,
