Hours assigned to Resources
I like your term, "mostly flat". That might tell the whole story right there.
There are several factors that could influence what you show in the screen shot but without more information, I can only guess what might be causing the issue. For example, all your durations are in elapsed time, so what is your Project calendar? What is the base calendar of your resources?, Have you applied any task calendars? How exactly did you assign the resources?
I duplicated your example using the Standard calendar as the Project and resource Base Calendar. I assigned the resources via Resource > Assignments group > Assign Resources. This is the result as shown in the Resource Usage view. It would be helpful to see this same screen shot from your file including the field and details I show in my screen shot.
