You need to enable and disable textures at the right time. Enable with glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D) and disable with glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D). The reason your paddles aren't showing up correctly is because textures are enabled and the paddles don't have texture coordinates, so it tries to supply the colour from the texture but can't so it just uses black. At least I think that's how it works...
Regardless, just make sure you enable textures just before drawing the ball and disable them just after.
EDIT: Your texture coordinates seem a little weird. I don't know if you have to follow clockwise/counter-clockwise ordering with texture coordinates but even if you don't, the fact you have them in that weird order is likely the cause of no texture showing up on the ball.
So try this:
glEnable (GL_TEXTURE_2D);glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[0]);glBegin(GL_QUADS);glColor3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 0.0f);glVertex3f(-0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f);glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 0.0f);glVertex3f(0.0f, 0.5f, 0.0f);glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 1.0f);glVertex3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 1.0f);glVertex3f(-0.5f, 0.0f, 0.0f);glEnd();glDiable (GL_TEXTURE_2D);
