I had a game where B1 stoled the ball at midcourt from A1. There was a bumb, I sucked on my whistle. B1 gathered himself and A1 just stood there after the bump. B1 had an uncontested layup for 2 points. Team B's coach looked at me and said "You let the bump go so that we could have the lay up, right?" I said "Yes". He said "Good job, to many officials call it without watching the whole play develop."
I agree with your situation but when the OP didn't call the travel because of not calling the bump it was not the right thing to do. I would not have called the bump but the travel I would call.
