Personally, I think the reason he didn't block her airbending was because she wasn't connected to her airbending abilities yet (Katara mentions the bloodbending method severes the ties between a bender and the element they bend. As Korra hadn't developed a link between herself and her airbending there was nothing to severe.) and it was only through the emotional state she was in after seeing Mako about to lose his bending that she was able to.
