Block sms and imessage for number/contact without blocking them from calling u?

No, blocking is an all or nothing option for any given contact. Since both calls and SMS are based on the cell phone number there is no way to separate the contact information into distinct entries for separate blocking.

You can set the particular conversation to "Do not disturb" and they would not bug you - but the previous poster is correct about it being all or nothing

You could buy or make a "silent" alert tone and use that for the people who you don't want bothering you with texts.
