No something else is going on here ....

 f=function(x) {dmvnorm(c(0.6, 0.8), mean=c(0.75, 0.75/x))*dnorm(x, 
mean=0.6,
 sd=0.15)}

> f(1)
[1] 0.01194131

> x<-seq(-2,2,.15)
> f(x)
Error in dmvnorm(c(0.6, 0.8), mean = c(0.75, 0.75/x)) : 
  mean and sigma have non-conforming size

But ...

suggesting the solution:

vf<-Vectorize(f)

> integrate(vf,lower=-Inf, upper=Inf)
0.1314427 with absolute error < 4e-05
