I think it's a bit unfair to refer to a record that reached No.13 on the US Billboard Hot 100 as a "non-hit", although 'Making Love' did nothing in the UK and in fact I don't even remember hearing it played on the radio. With her beautiful intonation and seemingly perfect pitch it's not surprising that her voice is nearly always associated with ballads. However, one of my favourites of hers is something slightly grittier and there's a Bacharach link, albeit a tenuous one, in that it was written by Gene McDaniels of 'A Tower Of Strength' fame.

And didn't Gene McDaniels also write one of Roberta Flack's biggest hits?
