sum/2 sums up the (ground) expressions in list X. What you want is the
*constraint* sumlist/2.

Also, bb_min searches for a minimal solution in a search tree, as
defined by a search goal.
sum(X,S) is not a search goal. Neither would be sumlist(X,S).
labeling(X) is a search goal.

So your code should read:

    [...]
    sumlist(X, S),
    bb_min(labeling(X), S, bb_options{strategy:continue}).


Cf. bb_min/3 help:

bb_min(+Goal, ?Cost, ?Options)

   Find a minimal solution using the branch-and-bound method

Arguments
   Goal                The (nondeterministic) search goal
   Cost                A (usually numeric domain) variable representing
the cost
   Options             A bb_options structure or variable


Cheers,
Thorsten
