You can't do this I'm afraid - you can't conditionally display related lists or buttons on related lists etc. They either appear or don't. The options that you have are:

- replace the related list with a Visualforce approximation.  
- create a custom new button that hits an interim VF page to check if the account is active
- create a custom new button that executes JavaScript to check if the account is active

None of them are great options though.

You can do in this way..

Create two page layouts with new button enabled in one layout and not enabled on other..Write a workflow rule which checks the active field of account and based on the result update the recordtype id with required layout.

This will realy solves your issue.
