That's a good fare, though the long stopover in SGN each way makes it a little less attractive.
One word of warning, though - it books in D (at least on the Expedia link) which earns precisely
zero in Alitalia Millemiglia.

It earns 125% in Flying Blue.
That's not the first time I've seen screengrabs from whatever tool/website that is - but if you programme it wrong - which you have done - you get inaccurate results. The mileages reported there are wildly incorrect, out by a factor of 2. LHR-SGN-HAN is 10,508 miles; MEL-HAN-SGN-LHR is 11,858 miles, giving a total roundtrip mileage of 22,363 miles. In FB, you would therefore earn in the region of 27954 miles.
It is always better to just look at the website of the programme which you are intending to use.
