i don't know... your post used an invalid CIDR notation so i took an eWAG and 
figured that you were wanting to block the entire network that that IP belongs 
to... a quick lookup showed that it belongs to facebook so i continued with the 
eWAG and guessed that the entire network was what you were wanting to block... 
you can't start a CIDR entry in the middle of the netblock, TTBOMK... you have 
to list it with the network's address... 31.13.64.0 in this case...

what didn't work? accessing that IP? how did you try to verify it? did you try 
going to facebook and you were successful? this may be problematic because the 
browser may have had the page cached and pulled it from there OR the DNS may 
have given you another IP for facebook...

start here -> http://s3.amazonaws.com/snort-org/www/assets/166/snort_manual.pdf

section 2.2.19 Reputation Processor (pg. 118) then croll down to the bottom of 
page 119 and the top of page 120 for working examples... the default.whitelist 
example does show plain IPs without any type of mask...

barring that, i've offered what i know and dug up from the docs ;)
