Ray, If you go into a Contact by double tapping on said contact, you can do anything from there. You can tap on any of the phone numbers you have for that contact to call them, you can tap on their email address to start an email or you can find the Facetime or Facetime Audio buttons to start a Facetime or Facetime Audio only call.
If you want to call that contact a lot with Facetime audio it's easiest to find the "Add to Favorites" button, tap on it and add them as a Facetime Audio contact to your Favorites, you then go into the Facetime app and find this person there and double tapping on their entry will start the Facetime Audio call.

Hi Ray and Cory, You can do a Facetime "Audio Only" call but both parties have to use iOS 7. In iOS 7 there is an actual Facetime app which looks very much like the Phone App but without a tab for a keypad, but you can add people to a Favorites list either as a Facetime Audio or Facetime contact, of course you could add the same person twice just like you can add somebody in the Phone App with a Home and a Cell number. Cory, if you initiate a Facetime call and then press the Home key to get out of the screen or if you lock the screen, I think the video still transmits, but it's sort of put on hold for the other person. I think Facetime Audio is one of the very nice new features of iOS 7, I use it with my Mom who has an iPad 2 and a few other people and so far the quality has been fantastic and it's nice that I can just make an audio only call this way because it will, of course, also use less data if I'm on 3G than a normal Facetime call with video would.
