Nov 29, 2014 at 22:26 comment added user5117 No, $X$ itself has Picard number 3; when you contract you get something of smaller Picard number. (This is true even though the contraction is small.) The reason is that any divisor on $X$ that has nonzero intersection number with the contracted curve must push down to a non $\mathbf Q$-Cartier divisor on the image.
Nov 29, 2014 at 22:10 comment added user61586 Then the picard number of the variety we get in the interior of the face is three. Is this correct?
Nov 29, 2014 at 21:44 comment added user5117 Proj of a line bundle in the interior of that face is the contraction of the line joining $p_1$ and $p_2$. Proj of a line bundle just on the other side of that face is the flop of that line.
