They do - it just isn`t obvious because they`re 大阪市 and 広島市. Same goes for 東京, really - if written like that it refers to the 23区 and not the rest of 東京都.
さいたま市 is in hiragana, so it`s just more obvious. The city name is officially in hiragana - it`s not written that way to distinguish it on the news.
