That's because there is no file named libbluetooth-dev. libbluetooth-dev is the name of a package, consisting of many files. You can find which files are in an installed package using dpgk -L package-name. To get the list of files of a package you have not installed, you use apt-file list package-name. If apt-file is not installed on your system, you can do
Shell
sudo apt install apt-file
sudo apt-file update
apt-file list libbluetooth-dev

You might also want to install mlocate:
Shell
$ sudo apt install mlocate
$ sudo updatedb
$ locate libbluetooth.so
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libbluetooth.so.3
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libbluetooth.so.3.18.16
$
