If Tolkien gave wings to this Balrog in particular that does not mean this was his final or actual definition of a balrog. Let me explain, in many circumstances Tolkien created several versions of a story, so it is possible that at one point balrogs had wings and at a nother did not have wings. This is not the first unclear part of Tolkien's work, and I belive it exists because part of Tolkien's works are unfinished.
So if they didn't have wings, they could still fly by some other magical way. And if they had wings good for them.
