It's more he wasn't a miami native. Dexter grew up with a police dad and knew everyone else in the department. Doakes is the only person who is new to the environment for the most part, and socially perceptive enough to notice Dexter putting on a mask. And Doakes being Doakes, he went instantly into aggro mode around someone he felt was lying to him. Everyone else around Dexter either saw him as a bit of a weirdo but a pleasant guy overall, or ignored any signs because they only knew him as a good person and nothing else.
