The reason of this behavior is that /bin/sh on these two systems is
a symbolic link. On Debian it points to dash and on Red Hat it points
to bash.
These two shells have slightly different syntax. For example bash
allows you to use reserved word function in function declaration while
dash does not. Vim supports syntax highlighting for these and some
other shells.
Among the other things Vim resolves /bin/sh to determine which shell
type is in use. To force bash syntax you can append filename with .bash
suffix or specify bash in shebang explicitly.
Read :help sh.vim for more information.
