"Landing gear wouldn't release so was a controlled crash landing."
If that is the case, isn't it procedure to raise all of them back up and belly in?

I'm curious as well.
The test results during certification are that there will be less damage to aircraft if landed on remaining gear. Less damage refers to all collateral damage including passenger injury. There are exceptions of course, that being the MD11 aircraft if the main gear does not deploy, you will want the centre gear to remain stowed, due to the damage the centre gear will do to the fuselage as it takes all the weight of the aircraft.
