When you login, there is a system-wide profile script that is imported with the barebones environment variables that are global to all users, then your local .profile is imported.
If the shell is an interactive shell, then a third script (usually .bashrc for BASH or .zshrc for ZSH) is run containing variables for command line interactive use. Your additions to the path that add the paths to rvm are probably in there and not .profile. Since the ansible login isn't interactive the .bashrc never gets imported.
