I think $_product->getTypeId() should work. If it doesn't then try $_product->getResource()->getTypeId()

I got product type following way in phtml file

$product=Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($product_id);
$productType=$product->getTypeID();
//Simple Product    
if($productType == 'simple')
{   
  echo "Simple Product";
}                           
//Configurable Product
if($productType == 'configurable')
{   
  echo "Configurable Product";
}

Here's another tip.

If you are iterating though Cart Items, then use the getProductType() for the product type information. For example - 

foreach( $cartItems as $item ){
    if($item->getProductType() == "configurable") {
