Don't have a lot of experience with bluetooth but I would try to make sure all my software is installed. This wiki suggest

sudo apt-get install bluez python-gobject python-dbus

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup

sudo apt-get install \
bluetooth blueman \
bluez-hcidump bluewho python-bluez  bluez-tools \
brcm-patchram-plus-nexus7

Is suggested by this another askubuntu post

Bluetooth not working in Ubuntu 13.04

If the software doesn't fix it you may want to try one of the other solutions in that forum or consult the wiki.
