Include the option PerformanceGoal->"Quality" to make it "look nice" 
(though it will slow it down a little).


Manipulate[
  ContourPlot[
   q1/Norm[{x, y} - p[[1]]] + q2/Norm[{x, y} - p[[2]]], {x, -2,
    2}, {y, -2, 2}, Contours -> 10,
   PerformanceGoal -> "Quality"], {{q1, -1}, -3, 3}, {{q2, 1}, -3,
   3}, {{p, {{-1, 0}, {1, 0}}}, {-1, -1}, {1, 1}, Locator},
  Deployed -> True]
