GNU bash will not read .profile if you also have a .bash_profile file.
What do you see in your HOME directory with:
$ ls -ld .*profile .*rc
In my local setup here, I see something like this:
$ pwd
/home/giorgos
$ ls -ld .bash* .sh* .profile
-rw------- 1 giorgos giorgos - 30103 Jul 11 18:47 .bash_history
-rw-rw-r-- 1 giorgos giorgos - 318 Jul 11 17:47 .bash_profile
-rw-rw-r-- 1 giorgos giorgos - 3742 Jul 11 18:17 .bashrc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 giorgos giorgos - 1006 Mar 29 07:19 .profile
-rw-rw-r-- 1 giorgos giorgos - 1433 Nov 18 2004 .shrc
