The word "pleasure" contains several sounds that are not always represented by the same letters in English. For example, the "ea" combination can be pronounced differently in different words (e.g. "bread" versus "heart"). Phonetic decomposition relies on consistent sound-letter correspondences, which can be difficult to apply to words like "pleasure."
