It's not dependant on who was touching it when the players return to the floor.
Restating it all from a different angle just because this is so frequently asked...
If A1 releases the ball on a shot, it's fair game to retrieve the ball, blocked or not.
If A1 does not release the ball because B1 prevented it by blocking it, it is, at that moment, a held ball.
If A1 does not release the ball by choice (even if B1 touched it but not hard enough to prevent the release), travelling when A1 lands.

I had situation #3 happen to me at the end of girls game. Team A leading by one. Team B had last shot at the buzzer and I called the travel. The shot went in. I ran to table to clearly let them know - NO BASKET. Team A wins by one. It takes a lot of courage to do our job.
