I have found the answer to this after reading the documentation!
Make sure that the host defination includes the following:
check_command check-host-alive
For some reason the sample configs I had based my config on did not have
this config item for hosts.

I've installed a basic Nagios 2 config. I have 50 service checks
working
perfectly and 12 hosts.
Even when services on a host go down host checks never seem to be
executed.
I've setup network packet captures to see if pings leave the Nagios
host
but they never do.
I created a host with an IP address that does not exist and one
service.
This service will of course go Hard critical after a couple of checks.
It does and I get notified and Nagios still maintains that the host
is UP!
Can anyone provide any hints as to why Nagios does this? What can I
check?
You should check your host configs. Or you can provide a bit more
detail here about how you have your host configs set up and we can
help.
