trouble with two way xbee comunication

Using Arduino Networking, Protocols, and Devices
#1

my arduino micro xbee as cordinator and my mega as end device. the micro sends and the mega receives the data but when it comes to the mega sending to the micro xbee nothing shows
micro code

just a update i switched xbees around and left the same code and it still worked so it seems its something on my arduino micro
