Getting your input returned to you is a sure sign the package has not been loaded before trying to use the function defined by the package. That will occur if either the package failed to load for some reason or you failed to execute Needs or Get before trying to use the function.

I suspect this is not a problem with the package. Instead it likely has to do with an interaction between the package and other code in your notebook. That is, I can do

In[1]:=
x={{-0.63144,4.45231},{0.03077,-6.4275},{-0.73023,2.0237},{-0.15044,0.824548}};

In[2]:=
<<NumericalMath`ListIntegrate`

In[3]:=
ListIntegrate[x,1]

Out[3]=
1.26908

in a fresh session with no problems whatever.
