I think a big part of it we can trace back to Tom Riddle's boast that
he'd always been able to charm the people he needed.  I think
Dumbledore was immune to that kind of easy manipulation (and TR would
be quite contemptuous of anyone who fell for his charm) and showed
it.
TR/LV would have to tread warily around him for that reason.  

Also, thanks to Pettigrew, LV knew about the Order of the Phoenix and
knew that it was more effective than the MoM.  So there would be
another reason to regard Dumbledore as an effective opponent.
