Why is an echo not heard if the source of sound is very close the reflecting surface?

The echo is there, but it occurs so soon after the direct sound that your
ear/brain system can't perceive the separation between them.

Sound is sensed only when vibrations produced by a source is transferred to the ear drum by means of a material medium. If such a medium is absent then sound cannot be heard. But vibrations of the source are always there.
What is the scientific meaning of flat?
If a surface is flat, then all the points on that surface will lie in a single "Plane". Any number of lines connecting the points on the surface will all lie within this same Plane. This is basically a Mathematical Definition. I have never heard of a "scientific" meaning before.
Why must a reflecting surface be at least 17 m away for an echo to be heard?
Well, I don't know the exact distance - and in fact it would depend a bit on the person. But if the reflecting surface is too close, you would hear the reflected sound wave TOGETHER with the original sound. Actually there would always be a time difference, but if it is too small, we can't perceive it, and will just perceive original sound + echo as a single, albeit louder, sound.

How would a sound be heard if a person is in front of a smooth surface it is reflecting of off?
Technically, the person would hear the sound twice ... once when it passes him on the way toward the smooth surface, and once after it reflects from the surface and passes him again in the opposite direction. In practice, though, you can't detect two seperate sounds if they come too close together in time. So the person standing near the wall could only hear both sounds if he's something like 56 feet or more from it. (0.1 second delay between the incident & reflected sounds)
