Without seeing more, a couple of things come to mind.
Does the Center of the Bend modifier need to be moved to the middle of the object?
Is the object tessellated enough to bend? If the object is broken up into enough faces, it can't be deformed.
It may help to see the object isolated, in Wireframe mode, and from a Top view with the Bend modifier visible.
