Make sure you're working with page.php in your Wordpress install.
Each different template needs to have a special comment at the top of it called which has the Template name.
<?php
/*
Template Name: Blog Template:
*/
?>
So this is how WordPress picks up that there are alternative templates to pick from.
Check that you have one of these comments in your template file.
If not, save page.php as a different name and add this comment or check that in those comments
Default Template is written in there instead of the template name you want.
Good luck. :-)

So in your text editor save a copy this as something like page-blog.php with that comment inside and see what comes up in your admin area.
