I am assuming you are talking about lubuntu 14.04 and I don't currently have
any 14.04 installations. I just did a quick test with a PC running 13.10 and
these comments may be helpful.
First, when you run Bluetooth Manager, if the word Adapter is greyed out then
you don't have bluetooth hardware or there is some sort of fault with either
the hardware or the driver.
I assume also that I don't need to point out that both the phone and the PC should be set
to "visible". Some time ago, round about ubuntu 11.10, I found that pairing was
sometimes easier starting from the phone rather than the PC or vice versa. If the PC
can't find the phone, maybe the phone can find the PC.
That's about the limit of my knowledge on the subject.

I wasn't sure so I looked up "lubuntu blueman-appt" and was directed to
blueman-applet which appears to be Bluetooth Manager. Since my experience is mainly
Windows I usually think gui. Preferences - Bluetooth Manager describes itself as Blueman
Device Manager so I think we are talking about the same thing.
I did another test using a 14.04 "live CD" on a usb stick and found that
Blueman starts up slightly differently in 14.04. Basically it won't start unless
bluetooth hardware is present and enabled.
