It isnt possible to see if they are trying to contact you when you have blocked them. You can unblock them to see if they have sent anything and then block them again. Unfortunately, you can't tell if they are trying to contact you because that comes with the block.
To do this, open the conversation thread from them in the Messages app. Tap the three dots in the upper right corner, then choose “People and Options.” Tap on “Block <number>.” A popup window will ask you to confirm you want to block the number, noting that you will no longer receive calls or texts from this person.
he will receive nothing. The text will be sent by his end and you will receive it like how i explained above. So he will not know if he is blocked. But if he will try to call you he will heard computerized message that the number in switched off.
If an iMessage, did you block the number, or the Apple ID. If you just added the number, then it may be coming from the Apple ID. If you blocked the contact, make sure it includes the number and caller ID. Apple ID would work for iMessage.
To call someone that blocked your number, disguise your caller ID in your phone settings so the person's phone doesn't block your incoming call. You can also dial *67 before the person's number so that your number appears as "private" or "unknown" on their phone.
On the application main screen, select Call and SMS filter. and select Blocked calls or Blocked SMS. If calls or SMS messages are blocked, the corresponding information is displayed on the status bar. To view details, tap More on the status bar.

- Step 2 Select Call Blocking & Identification. Then you'll see a list of the blocked contact list.
- Step 3 Tap on Edit or just swipe to left, unblock it. After that, you can receive messages from that number again.
Summary: Actually, you can not recover blocked messages on iPhone. That's because if you have blocked contacts from sending you messages, you won't receive messages at all. But if you have mistakenly deleted some messages, you can recover the lost messages on your iPhone with a reliable iPhone data recovery tool.
When you block a contact, their texts go nowhere. The person whose number you've blocked won't receive any sign that their message to you was blocked; their text will simply sit there looking as though it were sent and not yet delivered, but in fact, it will be lost to the ether.
