Heenan and Hogan were close in real life. Bobby mentions it in his book, and Hogan even wrote the foreword to Bobby's first autobiography.
He reasoned that the fans knew that Heenan hated Hogan's guts from over the years, so even when Hogan turned heel, why would Bobby suddenly start gushing over him? So 'The Brain' kept his storyline dislike for Hogan strong, even when both were heels.
Bobby was more of a smartass tweener in WCW anyway after the nWo took off.
