The plan was to kill Harry, not to turn him into a puppet manipulated by LV. So, from 
Crouch Jr.'s point of view, it didn't matter much if Harry could resist Imperio or not, 
since there are plenty of other spells with which LV could overpower him until he 
finished him off with AK.

Also, Crouch Jr. had to behave as Moody-like as possible. Letting his disguise slip 
would have done greater harm (at this time) than an Imperio-immune Harry.

Whoever said that Barty hated the Imperio himself has a strong point, too, I think.
