run the input through the (numberp) function. (numberp) stands for number-parse, and gives back a boolean TRUE if its argument parses to any number.
Doesn't Jess follow the original LISP meaning of the "p" suffix usage in built in as well as user defined functions as "predicate" rather than "parse", and isn't that a better usage in any case since it reflects the purpose of any predicate (as you indicate in the example above) rather than the way it is implemented which can vary quite a bit (table lookup for predicates with a finite domain, pointer traversal, graph traversal, numeric or symbolic computation of any sort).
