AFAIK nagios passive checks ( defined usually by the users )are for services ( most users do not enable passive checks for hosts) - hence the host is never getting a status update as it is not check as a "service" per say. you may need to set active checks on the host , and passive test for the host-related services , or you can change the host status manually with the use of the external commands. if you are using the PING test for the host - then that should be the indicator for if the host is "alive" - as the check_host_alive is using ping to make that determination .
