The court said Monday the ban on visitors from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen could be enforced as long as they lack a "credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States." The justices will hear arguments in the case in October.
Bona fide relationship means family relation, someone already a student in a US school, or someone with employment with a US company.

Just going on what you posted above and not having read the actual decision; I would say that the court is allowing the United States to enforce the exceptions to the ban, but not the ban itself.
Here is a list of:
Case-by-Case Exceptions listed in Executive Order 13780
3(c)(i)
The foreign national has previously been admitted to the United States for a continuous period of work, study, or other long-term activity, is outside the United States on the effective date of this order, seeks to reenter the United States to resume that activity, and the denial of reentry during the suspension period would impair that activity.[12]
3(c)(ii)
The foreign national has previously established significant contacts with the United States but is outside the United States on the effective date of this order for work, study, or other lawful activity.[12]
3(c)(iii)
The foreign national seeks to enter the United States for significant business or professional obligations and the denial of entry during the suspension period would impair those obligations.[12]
3(c)(iv)
The foreign national seeks to enter the United States to visit or reside with a close family member (e.g., a spouse, child, or parent) who is a United States citizen, lawful permanent resident, or alien lawfully admitted on a valid nonimmigrant visa, and the denial of entry during the suspension period would cause undue hardship.[12]
3(c)(v)
The foreign national is an infant, a young child or adoptee, an individual needing urgent medical care, or someone whose entry is otherwise justified by the special circumstances of the case.[12]
3(c)(vi)
The foreign national has been employed by, or on behalf of, the United States Government (or is an eligible dependent of such an employee) and the employee can document that he or she has provided faithful and valuable service to the United States Government.[12]
3(c)(vii)
The foreign national is traveling for purposes related to an international organization designated under the International Organizations Immunities Act (IOIA), 22 U.S.C.*§*288, traveling for purposes of conducting meetings or business with the United States Government, or traveling to conduct business on behalf of an international organization not designated under the IOIA.[12]
3(c)(viii)
The foreign national is a landed immigrant of Canada who applies for a visa at a location within Canada.[12]
3(c)(ix)
The foreign national is traveling as a United States Government-sponsored exchange visitor.[12]
A Family relationship would be covered under 3(c)(iv).
A study or business relationship would be covered under 3(c)(I); 3(c)(ii) and 3(c)(iii)
Don't fool yourself into thinking that a unanimous decision her foretells a victory for Trump.
