Answer:
Vito Corleone is the product of a society and mindset that values loyalty, friendship and kinship over money. By exchanging favors and deeds for loyalty and friendship Vito believes that he binds people more closely to him and his family.
But as Michael remarks to Kay, those favors are not for free. At some point the Godfather will generally expect, even demand a favor in return, especially from those that have the capacity to advance one or more of his interests.
And even in the cases where he doesn’t demand a favor (or just hasn’t gotten around to it yet) in return it’s great PR for Vito in particular and the Corleones in general to have a seeming altruistic side. People who Vito has helped over the years will do things like run for political office, go to law school, become police officers, serve on juries or perform any number of activities where they can assist Vito without him even needing to request the help—i.e. Enzo the baker, who though scared, stayed with Michael to bluff off Sollozzo’s crew. You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
Although ultimately it is Vito’s self-serving delusion, he usually does limit strictly monetary transactions to people he doesn’t call “friends”. That is why Vito’s contemptuous of Bonasera’s offer to pay him to hurt the men who assaulted Bonasera’s daughter. Friends don’t charge each other interest or present each other with a bill for services rendered. They help each other out. Usually, Vito is prudent enough to ask for favors that he knows people can do without too much trouble.
But if they don’t come across, as Michael says they will likely see a different side of his father’s persona.
