Why doesn't the heater work on my SEAT Ibiza?

I have a SEAT Ibiza (2010 model) and the heater doesn't warm up. I turned the heat up to 28 and it blows out cold air. I have been in the car 30 minutes and it still continues to do this. Can you help?

The electric valve in the coolant pipe between the engine block and the heater matrix must have failed and stuck shut.
