(I'm not using Ubuntu for my desktop but I'have had the same problem. I'm running Pulseaudio 13 built with enable_bluez5_native_headset and Bluez 5.54)
Solved it by adding headset=native forthe module module-bluetooth-discover in default.pa :
load-module module-bluetooth-discover headset=native
in ~/.pulse/default.pa (or /etc/pulse/default.pa)
then restarting pulseaudio with pulseaudio -k
Since Pulseaudio 11.0 has ofono support, "headset=auto" option enabled by default,
pactl list shows that both profiles with available: yes
Generally when using VoIP application automatically switch bluetooth profile to HSP works , but when not or when switch back to A2DP need to be done annually (for me, Blueman does the job with a few clicks).

Sound with HSP profile isn't very good and HFP doesn't seems to work as I haven't setup phonesimp (ref https:/ /www.freedeskto p.org/wiki/ Software/ PulseAudio/ Documentation/ User/Bluetooth/ )
