Perhaps it was intentional for Beth to not give beast race vamps glowing eyes. Maybe there is a lore reason for that. After all, beast race eyes are different the the eyes of Man or Elf. It could be that difference which causes the eyes to not glow.
Personally i don't mind not having glowing eyes for the beast race vamps. I do like playing a vamp whose eyes don't glow, who also doesn't have a wrinkly face.
Also it makes roleplaying a vampire who is not noticed by people, of its true nature, easier. For example, say i play an Argonian who is a vamp. There are not alot of Argonians in Skyrim, and im sure less that are vampires. Therefore its likley in this time of vampire attacks, that the "common man" has not see an Argonian vamp. It is more likley that they would see Man or Elf vampires, who do have glowing eyes. However if said Argonian vamp had glowing eyes just like the Man or Elf vamps, this unusual feature may raise red flags for people, exspecially for people who have already seen Men or Elf vamps, and therefore notice the glowing eyes connection.
Also not having glowing eyes, means that i don't have to have a beast race vamp wear a mask (like a dragon mask). Which i normally do now because it makes sense roleplaying wise to hide your glowing eyes in villeges when people walk about, if you are a Man or Elf vamp.
