Big Blind Raise???

Im in the BB with pocket 7s and it gets folded all the way to the small blind who just limps in...

...its fairly early in a no-limit holdem tourney (15-25 blinds in a T1000)

...with my 77 I decided to raise the limping SB to 60; he quickly folded.

I sensed that he wasnt strong, and put him on one over and one under card. I felt like I stealing the blinds, which is good, but I WAS THE BIG BLIND. Its always better to win 25 than to lose 25, but Im thinking I should have tried to win a bigger pot. Maybe spike trips, or see some low cards. Maybe I lose the bllind, but maybe I win a bigger pot.

Does anyone have any thoughts about raising the bet with a middle pair just to win ONE bet?
