That's exactly how styles behave and what they are for.

Either those paragraphs do not actually have that paragraph style 
applied, or else they contain local character or paragraph formatting 
or character style formatting - all of which will override the 
paragraph style's settings.

Remove local formatting and change the paragraph style - in either order.
