As you do not share a link to the styles, it's hard to say how they are  
meant to be used. Your examples "amenity grassland" and "improved  
grassland" indicate, that at least these are represented as attributes of  
a polygon layer, so the style should contain a rule for those attributes  
to display them in a certain way.
So, hard to guess what your problem is...

Google and Bing aerials with Open Layers plug-in are not good for  
digitizing when you need to zoom in deep. Don't know the situation in your  
region, but better invest some time trying to find a free WMS service  
providing aerial images for your region.

Another hacky alternative is described here:
