Who took Elijah up to Heaven?
How do we get to Heaven?
No contradiction here.

It doesn't say "No man except Elijah."
Mind you, that doesn't rattle me. Elijah evidently went bodily up to heaven instead of rotting in the grave here below-- and without dying, though as a sinner he would have had to die, right? Elijah was a sinner, et he did not die; he went bodily to heaven even though Christ had not yet come to pay he substitutionary price to open the gates of heaven, either. One would think Elijah would have had to go to the shadowy place of waiting, the netherworld, sheol, the bosom of Abraham, right? But no, God evidently makes an exception for him.
The rest of us, the saved, are going to go to heaven bodily, after the resurrection of our bodies --- even though out bodies have rotten in the gracve, or been eaten by sharks, or whatever --- because Jesus will bring this about by His own power.
I also believe in the Assumption of Mary. No contradiction!
