Geoff:

'....and then it was Ron's turn. He was pale green by now. Harry 
crossed his fingers under the table and a second later the hat had 
shouted "GRYFFINDOR!"
Harry clapped loudly with the rest as Ron collapsed into the chair 
next to him.
"Well done, Ron, excellent," said Percy Weasley pompously across 
Harry as "Zabini, Blaise" was amde a Slytherin. Professor McGonagall 
rolled up her scroll and took the Sorting Hat away.'

(Philosopher's Stone "The Sorting Hat" p.91 UK edition)

This is the principal reference. I'm trying to remember if there is a 
further mention.

Blaise is one of those who, like Theodore Nott, has been in the frame 
to be the "good Slytherin".
