You are trying to create PageReference - and its constructor accepts String. But String is not a Formula, merge fields will not be populated. You must either format string properly or set parameters:

PageReference yourPage = Page.YourPage; yourPage.getParameters().put('Id', contact.Id); return yourPage;

OR

PageReference yourPage = new PageReference('/apex/YporPage?Id=' + contact.Id); return yourPage;
