If a Banach space is reflexive, this trivially implies that it has an isomorphism with its bi-dual. In general, the converse is not true, i.e. a space can be isomorphic to its bi-dual without being reflexive and students are usually warned to never make that mistake. Nevertheless, the only example of such a space that I know of is a specifically constructed counterexample.
