Actually, Naruto wasn't even friends with Sakura when he started calling her Sakura-chan. He did so because he WANTED to hook up with her, and even he knew that barging in as a creepy stalker without respecting her would weaken his prospects.
As for others, he didn't feel the need to show that respect, because most others weren't pushing him away the way Sakura was. He found it easier to bond with others, whereas Sakura was pushing him away even as far as the end of part one, and although she DID think of removing him from the friendzone at the start of part 2, she quickly changed her mind.
Naruto respects his teachers (mostly of them, anyway), and probably used honorifics when he spoke to his parents too (this probably got lost in translation --- the reason why this issue so glaring). For friends, he often felt closer to them before actually making acquaintances, so wouldn't have felt the need to use honorifics.
