1. You're hiding in a bush. You cast Charm Person on Joe down the block. Does he get +5 to his save?
2. You're talking to Joe. You and Joe are acquaintences. You cast Charm Person on him. Does he get +5 to his save?
3. You're talking to Joe. You and Joe are acquaintences. You cast a Silenced, Stilled Charm Person on him. Does he get +5 to his save?
3. You're arguing with Joe. You and Joe are enemies (he stole your girl). You cast Charm Person on him. Does he get +5 to his save?

In my view:
1. No
2. No
3. No
4. Yes
5. Yes
6. Yes
It's not whether Joe can tell you're casting a spell that gives him the bonus. It's due to the fact that to suddenly turn someone's attitude from hostile or threatened to friendly is quite difficult.
