What's happening here, probably, is that the Python Shapely lib is 
getting installed into the Windows version of Python, and not under the 
OSGeo4W directory. QGIS uses the python that's part of OSGeo. The 
easiest solution will be to add Shapely to the OSGeo4W installation (the 
same way as matplotlib is). This solution has already been entered as a 
request:
  http://n2.nabble.com/Hello-tp4294072p4425761.html
in the QGIS trac system, so we can hope it will be solved soon.
Then you will be able to run the OSGeo4W installer, in advanced mode, 
and request to install the Python matplotlib and Shapley libraries, and 
then the contour plugin should work OK.
