Oct 9, 2015 9:32 AMby D.Cohen,Hi! Try restarting both devices and connect once again. Also, reset your iPhone.
Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on this device.
- Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
- Press and hold on the Home button
- Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.
Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings

Why do you think you need to do this?
Continuity, and Air Drop do use Bluetooth, but pairing is NOT required at all. Bluetooth just needs to be turned on.
What exactly are you attempting to accomplish?

With bluetooth turned on on both devices, Turn On Airdrop and set it to "Everyone", then try to AirDrop something.
Other devices will only appear when you actually attempt to AirDrop something.

Use AirDrop to send content from your Mac - Apple Support
Share content with AirDrop from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Reboot both devices then by holding down the Home and power/sleep buttons together for 10 to 15 seconds or until the Apple Logo shows up.
Then try again.
