Are you positive that the bluetooth mic volume is turned up or is not muted?

To see its controls, either use a gui you normally use, or in a terminal do:
$> alsamixer -D <device>

where <device> is your bluetooth device.

You should get ncurses based volume controls (vertical bars). Use
left/right arrow keys to shift between controls and up/down keys to
change their level. "M" toggles mute state. man alsamixer for more details.

Once you can get that recording working, only then you should try making
skype work (most likely then skype will work without any problems).
