This is what is supposed to happen. From the man page:
Login shells:
On login:
if /etc/profile exists, source it.
if ~/.bash_profile exists, source it,
else if ~/.bash_login exists, source it,
else if ~/.profile exists, source it.
If you want .bashrc run on login, add the following lines to the end of your
.bash_profile:
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
