Because maybe she wasn't aiming for a pressure point at all? XP

According to chinese stories, chi blocking can only be used when you have chi yourself, where you 'nail' your chi into the opponent's chi path in order to stop their chi flow. (Putting in a blockade) Since Chi is energy, it'll eventually dissipate and the opponent will be free to move again (Unless you hit so hard it destroys their chi path altogether) In order for Sokka to block Ty Lee's chi block he must either move his pressure point out of the way, or use his own chi energy to defend against Ty Lee's incoming chi energy. But since Sokka can't bend and I don't think he has chi, I'm leaning towards the 'Ty Lee wasn't aiming for his pressure point' assumption.
