Duke Atreidis is on alert of the Harkonens trying to get back in Arakis and he totally whiffs on this hole in his armor?????
One, a lot of people in his inner circle have been hurt by the Harkkonens and that is why they are so loyal to the Duke.
Lady Jessica and Yueh have a discussion about his wife Wanna at some point, to which Jessica intuits that Wanna is dead and that the Harkkonens were responsible.
Two, the Suk school conditioning is considered unbreakable, so there is no reason to suspect him.
The Baron figured out that he could use Yueh’s love for Wanna to break the conditioning but had to keep that very quiet and dispose of Yueh afterward lest that open a massive can of worms. Hence why he created the perception that the traitor was Lady Jessica to various people inside and outside the situation as misdirection.

If I recall the book correctly (its been awhile), that was why the Baron thought they had broken Yueh, but that Yueh had guessed that she was probably already dead. His betrayal was ultimately because, after the relentless torture of the Harkonnen, he concluded that killing the Duke was a justifiable cost in order to kill the Baron himself; hence the poison tooth, and helping Paul escape with the signet ring.
