I am trying my hardest to understand where you are coming from but I just can't. A psychedelic experience encompass every emotional experience from sheer bliss to utter terror. Embrace all feelings. I am no stranger to psychotherapy (in a personal aspect, plus career wise as it is what my undergrad degree is in) so I understand having 'fun' is not the norm in a counseling session...but psychedelic therapy is not traditional in the west. Maybe I am seeing things in black and white but what is wrong with fun? Why should the experience not be fun. Does 'fun' = not serious? Can one enjoy work if it is not fun? What about life? Why do we wish to exclude 'fun'? I just don't understand where you are coming from.
I repeat that visuals are an incredible way to access the psyche, they are more than just colors and trails. If it means anything, visuals are not always enjoyable but they are still an important part of the experience in my pretty vast experience of sharing psychedelics with other people for personal growth.
Someone mentioned MiPT and they are right, it is absent most visual phenomenon. I have a fairly well written report on it but in reading my notes I pretty much dismissed the experience. Forgive the shameless promotion but a link below links to it.

Also, 2C-T (4-Methylthio-2,5-DMPEA) is probably a candidate for 'non visual' psychedelics.
Oh, and as someone else mentioned...MMDA. It is a INCREDIBLE material for accessing the psyche. It only has surface resemblance to MDA and MDMA, has little or no stimulant effect, but sadly I took it many years ago at a time when I wasn't writing trip reports or taking notes and memory is now hazy on details. There might be a report here in the TR forum though, I will see if I can find anything.
Edit: I did make one.
