Stubborn bit won't be set to one.

I have this code I use for getting the mantissa, or value, of an IEEE binary number.

iFloat_t floatGetVal (iFloat_t x) {
  iFloat_t mantissa = (BITS == 16) ? (x & 0x03FF)
                      : (x & 0x007FFFFF);
    debug("%s: getVal before implicit 1", getBinary(mantissa));
    //mantissa = (BITS == 16) ? (mantissa | 0x04)
    //                : (mantissa | 0x008);
    mantissa = x | 0000010000000000;
    debug("%s: getVal after implicit 1", getBinary(mantissa));
    mantissa = (BITS == 16) ? (mantissa & 0x07FF)
                      : (mantissa & 0x00FFFFFF);
    if(floatGetSign(x) == 1) {
        mantissa = ~mantissa + 1;
    }
    return mantissa;
}

My issue is when I try to get the value from the number 63.125, here is the corresponding output:

DEBUG iFloat.c[31] floatGetVal() 0000-0011-1110-0100: getVal before implicit 1
DEBUG iFloat.c[35] floatGetVal() 0101-0011-1110-0100: getVal after implicit 1
DEBUG iFloat.c[81] floatAdd() 0000-0011-1110-0100: bits of val_y after assignment

This is my expected output:

DEBUG iFloat.c[31] floatGetVal() 0000-0011-1110-0100: getVal before implicit 1
DEBUG iFloat.c[35] floatGetVal() 0101-0111-1110-0100: getVal after implicit 1
DEBUG iFloat.c[81] floatAdd() 0000-0111-1110-0100: bits of val_y after assignment

Here is my full code:

0000010000000000 is an octal literal, not a binary one, use hexadecimal 0x0400.
