The Outlook Address Book is just a viewer for the electronic addresses in your contacts folders. If you are seeing different entries in the address book, compared with what you have in contacts, please explain in detail what differences you are seeing.
BTW, "folder hierarchy" refers to the tree of folders, as listed in the Folder List navigation pane in Outlook.

I just realized the entries in address book all have email addresses. the
entries in contacts folder don't all have email addresses. Why wont the
address book show them?

Why would it?
That's by design. You aren't sending email messages to Contacts with no
email addresses are you?
