Thunderbird require an email and not an name to be able to send the email, even if theses are in your contact list.
You can either use autocomplete on each one of the recipient, or you can use this add-on.

This can be very usefull if you have a big number of recipient. However be carefull as sending to too many people might flag you as a spammer.
If thunderbird can find the associated contact (because he found no-one or several), it will not replace the recipient.
For exemple if you copy past theses rows and press tab :
