Route53 still is returning answers for records that are not aliases to Cloudfront.

If you have an alias to a cloudfront distribution the answers aren't being provided by the Route53 servers.

You can verify this with a dig:

dig mx [your domain like domain.com] - will probably still work.

dig a [name of alias like www.domain.com] - isn't working.
