Reporting a message or message profile it is sending will not result in an immediate ban. When users report content on Facebook, the company normally reviews it, and the review can take a few hours and sometimes a couple of days. The same goes for messages.
Facebook will review the profile but may not necessarily suspend it unless the reported problem is of a serious nature and the profile is sending messages persistently. That said, there is likely a limit to the number of times a profile can be flagged for inappropriate messages before it gets banned.
We advise you not to abuse this feature. It is a community tool to manage the experience that all users have with Facebook Messenger, so use it only when there is a genuine need and do not solve small differences with one person.
If the person continues to bother you block them as described in this article below.
