I've dealt with lots of recruiters over the past few years (as a software engineer and systems analyst working various contract jobs) and most of them seem to me to be barely competent. There are a few good apples in the bunch, but they are rare. initiating contact with a great-sounding job opening and then not following up is definitely one of their standard MOs. Best way to deal with it, I've found, is just to keep up contact, which it sounds like you're doing. Call, send emails, send LinkedIn messages--assume that the job is still open, and the recruiter is just dragging his feet, until you are explicitly told otherwise. Squeaky wheel definitely gets the grease in this case.
