I don't understand what you're trying to do. Your current script changes line 5 in your target file so that that line and possibly others will be matched by a grep. If more than one line is matched by the grep, the second sed seems to be a no-op.
If you know that line 5 is the line you want to change, why not just make the 1st sed set that line to the final result that you want on that line and skip the second set of changes to that file?
