Bluenote swished Natsu aside like a bug, along with all the other non-Gildarts Fairy Tail members. Natsu held out a little longer, but not enough to really stand out too much. Bluenote didn't have a reason to really look at Natsu and thus it's surprising he remembered Natsu at all.

Imagine it like this: Today someone bumps into your shoulder in the subway. You throw him an angry look and then move on. Do you think you'll remember his face next week? Or in full eight years? I doubt it.
