Hi there Mossback2002,
It sounds like you are experiencing some difficulties ensuring a contact is blocked. We understand that it's important to be able to rely on your devices configuration and we are here to help with some recommendations that should get your pointed in the right direction.

If adding that contact to the blocked list in Messages doesn't stop those connections from being made, you might try adding it to the blocked list in FaceTime as well. To do that, go to FaceTime > Preferences > Blocked and click the '+'.
Also, please ensure your devices are updated.
