If this is not the case, why didn't the Ishgardians call upon Halone?
Well a primal summoned member of the twelve wouldn't actually be one of the twelve. Primals are basically manifestations of their peoples beliefs, only given from by those beliefs and Aether. We don't actually even know if its possible to summon a member of the twelve in some way. In fact we don't even know for sure if twelve really exist.
