Your code is almost right. Try this:

    public virtual ActionResult DownloadFile(string name)
    {
        Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + name); // force download
        CloudBlobContainer blobContainer = CloudStorageServices.GetCloudBlobsContainer();
    CloudBlockBlob blob = blobContainer.GetBlockBlobReference(blobName);
        blob.DownloadToStream(Response.OutputStream);
        return new EmptyResult();
    }

Hope this helps.
