The reason why Amon's energybending doesn't glow like the Lion turtle's or Aang's is simple, a visual light show isn't necessary in these minor cases. The two times we've seen energybending before was when the Lionturtle was teaching it to Aang which was a group of green lights which acted as a transition and when Aang took Ozai's bending away in the finale when the show needed to demonstrate a battle of their wills. The sparkly lights and lasers didn't happen when Amon used the technique because they don't actually happen at all they are only visuals to aid the watcher and represent the conflict between Ozai and Aang. In Amon's case we don't need these visuals because its not a question of Firebolt Zolt's will vs his, its establishing Amon's threat to Korra which is accomplished through the result of their battle.
