Tolkien Capitalization

Why is it that Tolkien only capitalized some of the races, but not always? For instance he never capitalizes hobbits, but Elves and Men are always capitilized. And sometimes he capitilizes Dwrves and sometimes he doesn't. Is it just because nobody cares? And it's really unimportant or because of something else?
