The export block provides text that is to be used "as is" by the html backend. 
So, "call_numbers()" is treated as html.

You need to construct the export block programmatically. Maybe something like 

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results html :exports results :var num=numbers()
   (format "the result is %d" num )
#+end_src
