I believe the difference in styles between The Hobbit and LOTR lies in the fact that the Hobbit was written for his son as a child and I believe he was in the RAF when LOTR was written. I cannot remember where I read this I'm afraid but its one of those facts that have rattled about since I was 14, many years ago.
