When FLAC compresses a WAV file it reduces the bitrate (losslessly), which is why you see a reduction in the bitrate. But unlike MP3, there is no reduction in the quality of the audio - just the size.

In summation, everything is fine. Some WAV files will compress more efficiently with FLAC so the bitrate may be even lower in some cases
