Final Pot (7.5 BB)

After the villian checked the turn it it looked to me that my flush was no good and that my only hope was a seven. When the diamond hit I just decided to check planning on calling a bet.
Was I wrong in doing this? Are there other hands that a player like that will raise the flop and check the turn when a blank comes downt? 99, 77, maybe. Comments anyone.
