I don't think that Walt ever really saw Mike as his Dad though, so he could have used any excuse not to speak to him. I know that Mike came around to the idea of Fatherhood, but I'm not too sure about Walt.
From very early on I've been wary of Walt, his throwing knives and telling Locke not to open the hatch really freaked me out, so I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be very much in contact with the island, even if he doesn't realise it. Maybe the powers that control forced Walt to force Mike, like he made Locke kill Naomi and get Shannon killed.
We still haven't found out what happened when Walt was with the others, I think he still has some powers that could cause a lot more damage!!
