Remaping [ to { in vim

I started working with VIM and I'm trying to configure it. Currently I want to remap [ and {

So if I press [ I get { without mashing shift. Right now I have it like this:

inoremap [ {                   
inoremap ] }

But it doesn't work. It just keeps on putting the [. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?

I don't know if it matters but I'm using the auto-pairs plug-in.

EDIT Just in case someone just wants to use it without any contiguration, here you go

ino " ""<left>
ino ' ''<left>
ino ( ()<left>
ino [ {}<left>
ino { []<left>
ino {<CR> {<CR>}<ESC>0
ino {;<CR> {<CR>};<ESC>0

Taken from Automatic closing brackets for Vim and slightly edited.

Looks like you have turned on set paste.
if set paste? is showing paste as result. You can disable it by 

:set nopaste

and try again.

More details at help paste and you may like help pastetoggle also.
