You would still have to go through TSA screening at T5, so I would not count on making the connection in only 30 minutes.
Suggest that you call UA and ask what the minimum connecting time is from UA domestic to B6 domestic at JFK. You might be able to do the connection in less time, but the MCT is a good guide.
The actual travel time on the "All Terminals" AirTrain from T7 station to T5 station is only two minutes, but you have to get from T7 to the AirTrain station, wait for an "All Terminals" train, ride it to T5 station, walk from the station to the T5 terminal, clear security, and get to your gate before JetBlue closes the flight.
You forgot to mention that once you get off the AT @ T5 its at best a 10 min walk from the station to the Term building, its inclosed but a very long walk
OP Id Never try to do this with a 30 min leeway, maybe a 60 min at a min. If you miss the train I think it runs every 7.5 or 10 mins at 10PM . Then of cause what if your UA flight is late or they take their time if connecting the jetway etc
