WCF service hosted in Sharepoint in Claims mode

I have a sharepoint server configured for Https in Claims mode. I have hosted a WCF Service in the sharepoint server. This WCF server uses client certificate for authentication.

The WCF service uses BasicHttpBinding.

On the client side following is the binding:

BasicHttpBinding binding = new BasicHttpBinding();
binding.TransferMode = TransferMode.StreamedResponse;
binding.Security.Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.Transport;
binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.Certificate;
binding.Security.Transport.ProxyCredentialType = HttpProxyCredentialType.Ntlm;

I have also set the client certificate using the following call:

base.ClientCredentials.ClientCertificate.SetCertificate(
    "CN=tempClientcert", StoreLocation.LocalMachine, StoreName.My
);

The client certificate is correctly setup in the client and the server.

When I try to invoke the service, I get the following error:

System.Security.MessageSecurityException :  The HTTP request is unauthorized 
    with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'. The authentication header
    received from the server was 'NTLM'

Though i have set the client credential to Certificate, it is unclear as to why it is saying http client authentication scheme is Anonymous.
