The problem here is that your blocks are not correctly specified. If you run M-x org-lint on your example, it will tell you the blocks may not be correctly specified. You need to tell org what sort of block it is. Org supports a number of different block types, such as source code blocks (#+begin_src/#+end_src), example blocks (#+begin_example/#+end_example), centred blocks (#+begin_center/#+end_center) etc. You can use C-c C-, to run the command org-insert-structured-template to select the block type. If you first highlight the region, it will be wrapped in the block you select.
