That's normal if you're in the *scratch* buffer. If you do C-x C-f and
then supply a file name without any extension (say "junk") then that new
buffer will be (Text) instead of (Fundamental). If you name the new
empty file "junk.lsp" then the mode will be (Lisp) instead of (Lisp
Interactive). The buffers that are generated automatically by Emacs are
special and are opened in the appropriate mode.

p.s. You can set things like this through Options > Customize Emacs.
