Beggars in Spain has a really great idea, but I would argue that it also has characters - the original novella is built around a relationship of sisters, and the novel expansion has some pretty interesting additional characters.

I do think that Asimov occasionally managed characters who were memorable as archetypes (as opposed to the realist view of characters as realistic and three-dimensional). Susan Calvin, for instance.
