Proxied but not proxied?

Hi all,
I'm looking for some general info but I dont' even know what to google here.
I have a client who has a www domain pointed with a Proxied A record, and when I do an NSlookup I see all the anycast addresses like I'd expect.
The Apex domain however, says it's proxied in the cloudflare portal but when I do an NSlookup on that domain I get the public IP of the origin server.

From what I understand, this might be a requriement for Axctive Directory DNS but I'm not sure what exactly is happening here. The client hardly knows their own DNS so they couldn't answer the question for me.

Can anyone think of what might be going on, or what I'm missing? The goal is to be able to launch a new website, but I want to have a good grip on their current traffic flows before we schedule a launch date.
