Correct answer EuanWilliamson

Your base untitled image is set at 32bits per channel.

The dragged image is not 32 bit thus it is set to be a smart object.

Can you see the symbol for this in the layer thumbnail at the bottom right?

From the top menu, choose: Image > mode > 8bits per channel.

You will now have your blending modes returned.

Hi
Euan is correct in that the cause is the use of 32 bits/channel, however I would advise going from 32 bit to 16 bit rather than 8
