Basement Radiator runs cold all the time.

Rest of the house iron cast water radiators are working fine except the one the basement. When I bleed them no air comes out just cold water. If I let it bleed for a bit the water will start to turn hot and radiator starts to get warm. However, once I close the air valve the water goes back to cold and the radiator stays like that. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated. The manual shut off valve is open so don't know what can be the problem.

    How is it connected to the system ?

    Can you show the path from the boiler to the radiator? Follow the pipes?
