They use different fonts. I would expect InputForm to use
whatever font format you have set in your preferences for input
while NumberForm will use what ever font defaults you set up for output.
In my case, I have input set to StandardForm while output set to
TraditionalForm and see two different fonts when I copy your
code into a new cell. But if I do:
x=1+$MachineEpsilon;
InputForm[x]
NumberForm[x,{16,16}]//StandardForm
both lines appear to be the same size on my system.
