There is no question he lied earlier to FBI, since when White House counsel brought him in for questioning, he admitted everything about the content of the conversations- verifying accuracy of the intelligence information presented to White House by Justice Dept.

Reason he won't be prosecuted is that although he initially gave flat denial to FBI, FBi continued pressing him so he knew they were onto his lie, and he changed his statement to FBI to say he didn't recall details of conversations. So FBI allowed him to hedge in his answer. Wash Post has article describing FBI interview with Flynn.
