It was always round, and Aman was simply found to be unreachable. But the Elves didn't want to be proven wrong, so they changed the history books to say it magically switched. However, only authorised Elven ships have actually made it to Valinor in the FINISHED AND LATEST RELEASED version of the Silmarillion. As such, the thing about only elves being able to reach it now is silly. Obviously, it was always like that and they've only now realised that. And also, the world was always round but the Elves didn't want to admit fault.
