Their first encounter wasn't a fight, so it shouldn't be assumed that Jiraiya will stupidly make eye contact if they were to fight. Even Naruto knew not to make eye contact with Itachi, so the idea that Jiraiya will make and maintain eye contact for Itachi to catch him in a genjutsu doesn't make much sense.
