In my opinion it's a flaw in the movie. Unless you want to figure it either one of two ways...Roth wanted Pentangelli die to think it was Michael who ordered his hit, or...Roth never intended for the hit to be successful, but to set up Frankie to turn on Michael. Personally the former makes more sense and it worked out in Roth's favor (temporarily) that Frankie turned on Michael anyway.
which would make sense, but the fact that roth had intended for michael never to live past new years would not make sense as to why he would want to set up michael and then kill him before the trial.
