Just use an extra FiguredBass context:

\version "2.19.5"

\score {
  <<
    \new FiguredBass \figuremode { <4>16 <3>8. }
    \new Staff {
      \clef bass
      bes4
    }
  >>
}

If you like, you can replace \new FiguredBass \figuremode by the 
abbreviation \figures.

For what reason do you use 2.19.5 still? There were many improvements since.
