I believe adding :results output should fix this problem, as what you
want is a collection of the text printed to STDOUT.

With that change I get the following...

#+begin_src sh :results replace output
  foo=1
  if [[ -n "$foo" ]]; then
      echo "foo has been defined (and has value $foo)"
  else
      echo "foo has not been defined"
  fi       
  if [[ -n "$bar" ]]; then
      echo "bar has been defined (and has value $bar)"
  else
      echo "bar has not been defined"
  fi       
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: foo has been defined (and has value 1)
: bar has not been defined
