If post author ID is..show that

The function is_author() is used to check if you are on the archive page for the specified author. So as your code is in single.php this will never be true.

From the docs

This Conditional Tag checks if an Author archive page is being
displayed. This is a boolean function, meaning it returns either TRUE
or FALSE.

To get the author ID you could use:

$author_id = get_post_field('post_author', get_the_ID());
