hi, if you go on your phone and go to Settings > iCloud and toggle the Contacts to on then you should be get a message saying do you want to merge your contacts with your iPhone's just click on merge.

but i would get a back up of my icloud before i did this if i was you.

Archive the information in iCloud Contacts

Use your Mac or Windows contacts application to create an archive on your computer.

In OS X Lion v10.7.2 Address Book, select All Contacts in the Groups list, and then choose File > Export > Export vCard.Address Book creates one vCard file (.vcf) containing all of the contacts.
To learn how to archive contacts from Microsoft Outlook 2007 or Microsoft Outlook 2010, open the application’s help and search for “export.”
