The issue is more that number information isn't stored in
Contacts.People. Its stored in Contacts.People.Phones.
It will help to think of the Contacts in terms a relational database
(I don't know actually how they are stored, but I believe they're in a
relational database). If you had a database storing contacts you'd
have one People table that stored information about a Person like
name, picture, title, etc. Since people often have more than one phone
number now, you'd have another Phones table with multiple rows for
that person's phone number data and these rows link back to the Person
entity in the People table.
So, the bottom line is a query to the People content provider will
only provide you Person information. You'll need to do another query
to the Phones content provider to get phone numbers and such.
