What version of ansible are you using on this host?
I don't think it matters if the file you're encrypting contains ASCII

ansible can encrypt blobs just a well.

What does you encrypted vars file look like?
Because that *should* be only numbers, with a header something like this:

$ANSIBLE_VAULT;1.2;AES256
