Thermostat wiring for on older packaged heat pump.

I have and older ICP single stage packaged rooftop heat pump with no aux. heating. There are 4 wires coming from the unit.
The wires at the unit are :
G - Fan
R - 24V power
O - Reversing valve
Y - Condenser

At the new Honeywell digital thermostat (for heat pumps)
I connect the R to the R/Rc terminals (has a jumper)
I connect O to the O terminal
I connect the G to the G terminal
Now the problem:
When I connect the Y to the Y terminal I get cooling but not heating (compressor doesn't engage in heat cycle). OR when I connect the Y to the W terminal I get heating but not cooling.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help.

You must also configure the thermostat for heat pump operation.
What is the stat model number?
