Because you are allowing Cos[b_ - \[Phi]b + y_] to evaluate and when it does so there is no longer a match. The simplest way to avoid this problem is to use HoldPattern:

2 k1 k2 u^2 \[Epsilon]1 Cos[d1+d2-\[Phi]b-\[Phi]r]/.HoldPattern[A_*Cos[b_-\[Phi]b+y_]]->-A*\[Phi]b*Sin[b+y]
-2 k1 k2 u^2 \[Epsilon]1 \[Phi]b sin(d1+d2-\[Phi]r)
