Organa and his wife wanted a daughter so they took Leia. Obi-Wan then decided to watch over Luke as he was raised by his Uncle and Aunt, and in doing so, sensed Luke's potential in the force. Obi-Wan had no idea if Leia was force sensitive or not. In fact, Yoda was the only one who knew that Leia also had the potential to be a Jedi.
This is evidenced by the conversation between Obi-Wan and Yoda in ESB.
Obi-Wan: "That boy is our only hope."
Yoda : "No, there is another."
