Service calls are blocking in the sense that the caller will block until the server returns a response, and that the server for a particular service will only handle one request at a time.
I don't believe there's anything in the specification that says that two different services advertised from the same node will block each other. In reality, I suspect that rospy handles each service in its own thread, so that they don't block each other.
