Turn off all the other rads to try to force a bit of flow through....is it on a thermostatic rad valve?
 
still the same cold water out of bleed valve outlet from rad gets hot inlet to rad stays cold think it is a thermo inlet
 
Then the pin under the valve head will be stuck down, take the head off and tap the pin gently with a light hammer until it releases...if it won't it needs a new one. Sometimes the valve heads spring open aswell and force the pin down.
