If tori stay so close to uchitachi, there is no reason for him to strike with a shomen uchi... simply a tsuki is ok to hit the opponent. I think that she had a bad distance, also if the technique is good. A little bit far distance require a bigger step for uke, and so make sense this kind of attack, and reaction for tori. Iwama school is very good for proper basic, but sometime to "copy a shape" miss to remember why things happen.
