Try double quotes in lieu of single quotes to enable shell's "variable expansion".
EDIT: But, there's more to comment on. Your sed command doesn't have a file to operate on, the goal of the script is not quite clear, and in general there are some coding improvement opportunities.
Do you want to operate on the files listed in "blocks.txt", or do you just want the single file "rules.txt" to be modified?
