In the current implementation of Lightning, channels are funded only by the node initiating the channel (Alice in our example). Dual-funded channels have been proposed, but not yet implemented. In a dual-funded channel, both Alice and Bob would contribute inputs to the funding transaction. Dual-funded channels require a slightly more complicated message flow and cryptographic protocol, so they have not been implemented yet but are planned for a future update to the Lightning BOLTS.
