Narrative:

Just as we were leveling off at FL250; the captain and I were monitoring the ecs page; as we had only one working pack and wanted to monitor the aircraft pressurization. We noticed that the right 10th stage bleed valve had closed without any input from the crew and the right pack had subsequently turned off. We referenced the QRH and attempted to re-open the 10th stage bleed valve as well as the 10th stage isol valve. Neither valve responded to our inputs and both remained closed. Since the left pack was on MEL the cabin began to climb at a rate of approximately 600-800 feet per minute. I contacted ATC and told them we required 10000' and the captain began the descent. Upon passing thru 15000' we switched the pack bleed to the APU. We then regained pressurization and decided to divert.

Title: An Air Carrier First Officer reported being dispatched with the left pack Inop and losing the right pack when the bleed valve failed. They regained the pack by starting the APU and then diverted.
