\blank[.25\paperheight,force]

A blank at the top of a page is ignored, because usually you use a blank 
as a separator, that is useless at the top of a page, because the page 
break is enough to separate two texts.

Sometimes you need a blank on top anyway, i.e. at the start of a chapter.
In that case use "force".
