I think it's obvious that Cinder doesn't know of Blake's existence, or put it among extremely low priorities.

1) When Roman makes his report about Episode 16's failed robbery, he didn't know who the hell Blake is at all. To him, it's just some random Faunu getting the shock of her life seeing the White Fang assisting a human in crime. So there's no way Cinder would know anything about Blake from that encounter.

Moreover, if Roman had received orders beforehand that Blake was one of his to-be-eliminated targets, he should have recognized her immediately - she even let her Faunu ears out in plain sight. The fact that he doesn't recognize her points that Cinder's faction just does not know about Blake's existence.

2) Blake likely left before Cinder made her actual appearance to the general community of the White Fang. She disliked the White Fang's increasingly brutal policy, but other than knowing that the new leader is actively violent, she didn't have a clue about any of his associates and the kind. There is no reason - nor did she has so much power at the time - that Cinder will know of Blake's existence, nor does she has any real power at the time to do anything about it.

3) Blake's trail has run cold for quite some time. Let's me say this again: Blake is no threat to Cinder Fall's plan. The girl doesn't even know she exists, so what's the point of chasing after an ignorant fugitive who had months to escape and reveal whatever she might have to reveal? Do they have to pursue any other former members who had run away since years before? How do you even do that?

It's the past. Done. Blake doesn't know anything useful and Cinder's plans are moving smoothly. More important, her current plans are not affected, and only those who know and can affect those plans are cause to be removed. She found a zealous group precisely because there's less chance that they'll back out halfway, have the motivation, and that threats like Tukson are easy to single out and remove.
