That is a mature blooming sized Vanda as far as I know=by the size of it and by the length of leaves. The mere fact that it produced a keiki. So this blooming cycle it decided to give you a keiki instead of blooms....therefore, next blooming cycle it will give you flowers....
You have the right environmental conditions to grow Vandas.
But maybe its the hard water and the kind of fertilizer you are using must be changed. To bloom your orchids you need to give them less nitrogen two months before its blooming cycle....
Commercial fertilizer comes with three numbers on the packaging, indicating the amount of different nutrients in the fertilizer. The first number in the ratio stands for the percentage of nitrogen in the fertilizer mixture, and the second two stand for the percentages of phosphorous and potassium. For example, a 5-10-10 ratio fertilizer contains 5 percent nitrogen, which is half as much nitrogen as phosphorous and potassium. When looking for a low-nitrogen commercial fertilizer, look for a fertilizer with a nutrient ratio that has a low first number.
