Abstract: In this work we consider a class of contact manifolds $(M,eta)$ with an associated almost contact metric structure $(phi,xi,eta,g)$. This class contains, for example, nearly cosymplectic manifolds and the manifolds in the class $C_{9}oplus{C}_{10}$ defined by Chinea and Gonzalez. All manifolds in the class considered turn out to have dimension $4n+1$. Under the assumption that the sectional curvature of the horizontal $2$-planes is constant at one point, we obtain that these manifolds must have dimension $5$.
