Three possible reasons: The threat posed by the brothers was of no real significant geopolitical interest to Putin, the warning helped cast him in a benevolent light, and it was a quid pro quo with U.S. pertaining to the useful exchange of info on terrorism. Aside from that, Putin has much bigger plans that transcend the bombing IMO and has Obama where he wants him.
