Imprinting comes out of nowhere; real, genuine, honest connections don't. Jacob deeply, really loved Bella, but he didn't imprint on her because that just wasn't in the cards. If they were never drawn to each other, then why did they spend everyday in the garage, why did they kiss, and why did they love each other, in the end? Imprinting is one kind of love (at the beginning), but just because Jake and Bella didn't have it doesn't mean they didn't love each other. It was the same with Sam and Leah; Sam still loved Leah before he imprinted on her, and she loved him, too. Imprinting just happens. Get it.
