Without seeing the code? Impossible to say. But you're doing it backwards.
~/.bashrc should be sourced FROM ~/.bash_profile. A login shell reads
~/.bash_profile only, so it's the responsibility of ~/.bash_profile to
read ~/.bashrc to set up aliases, functions, shopts, and other ephemeral
shell settings that can't be inherited from the environment.
