Why doesn't he do that? Why does he not do that?

As far as I know, "Why doesn't he do that?" is perfectly ok.
"Why does not he do that" sounds so rare.
A more common way to say seems to be "Why does he not do that?"
It's rare to find different positioning in contracted form and full form.
Any authoritative comment about this?
