Then they should be ok.  Perhaps less vitality than they would have had, but 
still usable.

And on further reading, nothing sprouted at all?  Yet the same seeds sprouted 
well elsewhere?
If that is a clear rendition of the situation, look to chemical damage of the 
ground in that spot.  Using other seed wont make any difference at all in 
that case.  Alternative is if the area is very very shaded as in under a bush 
or tree, it will never be really hardy. If under some trees (pine come to 
mind) then a perfectly natural leaching of pine needles etc may have removed 
all grass and you wont be able to beat it.
Please describe the location, condition, size, and plants nearby of the spot 
that wont grow.  Only with this info, can folks take a real shot at the 
problem for you.
