Try

\newcommand{\randt}[1]{\marginpar{\sffamily\slshape
  \footnotesize\leavevmode\color{blue}\raggedright{#1}}}


Otherwise the \color command places its whatsit in vertical
rather than horizontal mode. This means that the marginpar
aligns its top with the baseline of the text, rather than
aligning text baselines.
