The agreement was called The Great Compromise. It called for the lower house of Congress, the House of Representatives, to be elected on the basis of population of the states and that all revenue bills would have to originate there. The upper house of Congress, the Senate would be elected on an equal basis among the states, two per state regardless of population.

It had at one time also been known as the Connecticut Compromise since it had been proposed by Connecticut delegate Roger Sherman.

Why aren't members of the Senate also called representatives?

Simply stated the Constitution established three branches of government: executive, legislative, and judicial. And it further divided the legislative branch into the House of Representative and the Senate. That's their proper names, which is why they are capitalized. And that's your answer. Members of the Senate are called Senators because they belong to the Senate. They are not called Representatives because they do not belong to the House of Representatives.
