What are they doing ?

It's normal for them to show as blocked when they aren't actively 
running something - in the same way that any process on a 'normal' 
machine will show as blocked when it's waiting for input, each guest 
will show as blocked when it's got nothing to do. Give something a 
processor intensive task to do and you'll find it changes state to 
running (at least some of the time).
