If I had a read that told me he would fold for a much smaller raise, why would I go all-in?

Because you should also have a "read" that the BB is going to be forced in on this hand, and thus you'll be giving your villain almost 4:1 to see a flop, without the opportunity to raise more preflop. No matter how prone he is to folding, he's not doing it here. Beyond that, people don't limp and fold to minraises, even if they like folding, especially if he has 2.5 times your stack.
