Hi! "only one, G. H. Hardy recognized" is not passive voice.
The intent is to depict that despite the fact that Ramanujan sent his theorems to three mathematicians, only one of these mathematicians recognized their brilliance.
However (this is where the contrast comes in), just one recognition was sufficient, since this recognition was sufficient for Ramanujan to be elected to the Royal Society of London.
