And the tickets has both his mileageplus# and mine. I don't know why the UA booking system didn't recognize this.

Do you suggest to call the UA to get the discount (I guess around $100) for my son's ticket?
Only if your son is an infant and doesn't have a seat.

Infants traveling between the U.S. and Canada, or from Mexico to the U.S. or Canada, only pay taxes on the ticket. Infants traveling without a seat to other international destinations are charged 10% of the adult fare at the time of infant ticketing (it is usually less expensive to purchase the infant ticket in advance). Infants traveling on an adult's lap on front cabin awards or upgrades must pay 10% of the front cabin fare in applicable markets.
