I think Alison couldn't get through Melissa the same way as she did with Mona or Lucas or Paige. Yes, Alison being with Ian drove her nuts but I think Alison was well aware that Melissa was capable of things that the others weren't. We all know everything in PLL happens for a reason. Looking from the flashbacks, Alison's expression when there was Melissa was different from that when she was around Mona or Paige or Lucas. Even if she acted bitchy but still we could sense some "nervousness" even if not that obvious. Mona, Paige, and Lucas were Ali's lackeys, but even she knows that she couldn't look down on Melissa. So I think she couldn't really get through Melissa. See how "experiencing" Alison had a huge impact on the others? One of them snapped and became so twisted that is Mona. It should be noted that whatever Alison did to Melissa, she never changed. She was angry and hated her so much, but There's no way she will be defeated by Ali. She always got the upper hand.
