Sauron was not a balrog! He is a maia yes, and he served Morgoth.
Remember when Sauron tricked the elven smiths to make the rings: he was disguised as good and took the name as Annatar.
You would think an elf would notice a balrog, da'h :P
Then, I don't know, Tolkiens books, they says different...
There was endless of balrogs. But then it was changed to only five balrogs/dragons? Slained by Tuor, Gandalf and... well, don't remember >_<
