What version of Alice are you using?

Typically, if you do something like this in a "Do Together" (tried to use
move up and down as well as the roll procedures inside a do together) you
will not see a difference  (The start and end position of the object is the
same.

To blink both eyes together, try this:

(Alice 3.x)

START Do Together
     Do In Order
           Get Left eyelid - turn forward 0.25
           Get Left eyelid - turn backward 0.25
     Do In Order
           Get Left eyelid - turn forward 0.25
           Get Left eyelid - turn backward 0.25
END Do Together

Or this
Alice 2.x
START Do Together
     Do In Order
           <object's left eye)  - turn forward 0.25
           <object's left eye) - turn backward 0.25
     Do In Order
           <object's right eye) - turn forward 0.25
           <object's right eye) - turn backward 0.25
END Do Together

You may have to make the object temporarily large enough to get a good
visual on this.
