OK so filetype detection is working, but line ending style is apparently inconsistent in your file so Vim is detecting it wrongly. I doubt this is your issue, but you can look at these pages for help there:

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/File_format
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Automatically_reload_files_with_mixed_line-endings_in_DOS_fileformat

I'd suspect somehow your indent settings are not turned on. Can you confirm "filetype indent on" or "filetype indent plugin on" are in your .vimrc, and there are no following "filetype" commands to turn it back off?

Also check the output of ":verbose set cindent?" to see whether the proper indentation rules for C++ got turned on by the cpp filetype indent plugin, or overwritten later.
