Even though the TeX formats are very different, but they all use the same .tex extension for their source files. Hence Vim tries to guess the correct format by some heuristics.

When nothing else helps Vim assumes it's a plaintex. You can add let g:tex_flavor = 'latex' to your vimrc to change this.

Read also :h g:tex_flavor for more info.
