I guess that one of the fields you require to be NUMERIC contains non-digit 
characters. Replace the line

>>       writer.add_document(**doc)

with something similar to

         try:
             writer.add_document(**doc)
         except UnicodeEncodeError:
             print "Skipping malformed line", repr(i) 

This will allow you to inspect the lines your script cannot handle and if 
they are indeed "malformed" as I am guessing you can fix your input data.

i is a terrible name for a line in a file, btw. Also, you should avoid 
readlines() which reads the whole file into memory and instead iterate over 
the file object directly:

with codecs.open("tt.txt", encoding='utf-8-sig') as textfile:
    for line in textfile: # no readlines(), can handle 
                          # text files of arbitrary size
        ...
