No microphone icon in text box

[Bez89]

hi can anybody help with this? Since downloading ios8, I don't have the microphone icon in the txt box that's supposed to be there. I can't finger an option to turn it on anywhere. I'm still on my iPhone 5 till the end of the month, my mates 4s has it, so don't understand why it's not appeared on mine, and help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry scratch that, it's the microphone that's always been there, just to dictate the text. I can't get the one on the right, my mates just tried to send me a voice txt and it won't send either, there is deffo something wrong, don't know what to do.

That's only in iMessage as it works over a data connection.

If you notice in the link ref the instructional pictures the messages are Blue which means they are imessages.
