Did Bombadil not put on the ring? Did he disappear? No, good old Tom stayed visible. Perhaps, (assumng Bombadil is a Maiar, anyhow he has a lot of power) here's a classic example of "you must have power to weild power". (Oh, I like that, I should remember it... I just made it up!) Others can wear it, but it will be controlling them, and to show that they actually lose their visual forms. Those who have the power to DO something with it (whether they choose to or otherwise) have some sort of control over it, and so they keep their forms.
