Tolstoy might have implied it, but I disagree. Sheer maliciousness caused Anna to fascinate Levin, doubly unforgivable given her history with Kitty. Levin might have been good for Anna, but I don't think she'd have been good for him. She wouldn't have tolerated not being the focal point of his existence (the root of her problem with Vronsky) and Levin had big ambitions.
