Chances are, the earlier flight was booked full, which is why it wasn't mentioned. If a flight is full, they cannot book you on it. Anytime I have to book someone, I tell them which flights are available, based on what flights actually have open seats. I will mention other flights, that are full, and offer them standby on it, along with confirming them on a later flight, but some agents choose not to even mention the earlier flights. If there are no seats, technically the flight isn't "available".
