That'll be because the systemd python bindings were split into a separate 
package upstream.  But fail2ban already depends on it:

        systemd? ( $(python_gen_cond_dep '|| (
                dev-python/python-systemd[${PYTHON_USEDEP}]
                sys-apps/systemd[python(-),${PYTHON_USEDEP}]
        )' 'python*' ) )

So maybe the OP just needs to unmask python-systemd?
