You should have bet the flop. Firstly, you could have got them to call a bigger bet and started building the pot. Secondly, check raising that flop is practically screaming I have a set. Would J9, A8 or 44 check raise? It would be alerting even the donkest of opponents to at least the possibility that you have 2 pair+.
I also think that your call on the flop was correct and folding would have been a mistake. You were getting more than 5 - 1 and it was by no means certain you were beaten. Yes, UTG could well have had JT, but Tx or 5x are a bit more of stretch. He could also have had hands like A9, K9, A8, T9, 98, 76 so I think you were correct to call.
