Q: Bluetooth Communication
The only time an iPhone will Pair with a Mac over Bluetooth is for personal Hotspot. Nothing else.
If your iMac is somewhat recent enough and is running Yosemite, you can use AirDrop between your iPhone and iMac to transfer files.
Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content - Apple Support
Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
Note, this does not require you to Pair the devices over Bluetooth. You just need to have Bluetooth On.
Bluetooth on iOS devices works fine for what it is set up to do. That is to connect to speakers, keyboards, hands free phone systems like those in new cars, and a few other types of devices. It is not setup to connect to a computer or to be used for file transfer. Perhaps if you explain exactly what you want to accomplish someone here will explain how to get it done.
