Hi

Try checking the following settings on your iPhone:

Settings > General > Keyboard - check that Enable Dictation is turned on.
Settings > General > Restrictions - check that the restriction for Siri & Dictation is not enabled
Settings > General > Siri - disable, pause for a few moments and then re-enable Siri.
