Why does this sentence use だけれども after 好き
このカバンが好きだけれども、高いのです。
but this sentence uses けれども (not だけれども) after 好きではない
私はこの本が好きではないけれども、あなたは好きでしょう

Its both just けれども. The だ is often used for na adjectives or nouns. ない is a い-adjective, 好きis a な-adjective.
This usage for だ is universal and you should come across those type of pattern more often in general.

because after a な adjective you need だ
because after an い-adjective (ない is grammatically treated as an い adjective), you don’t need だ
see:
Verb + けれども
［い］Adjective + けれども
［な］Adjective + だ + けれども
Noun + だ + けれども

I knew 好き was an な-adjective but I didn’t realize 好きではない was an い-adjective ! But it made sense when thelizard mentioned that ない is an い-adjective.
