Ansible will use your SSH config when using the ssh (not paramiko) transport, perhaps it's not finding it for some reason.
paramiko would be the default if you were running from RHEL/CentOS 6 or before, where OpenSSH is not new enough to support ControlMaster, and paramiko is therefore still faster. (review for everyone: accelerate mode is the performance option there, since pipeling is OpenSSH only). Let's start with what OS you are running form as that may highlight that transport question. If not, we can ask other questions.
