Twenty Sixteen does not contain any post type templates by default, thus no template selection is shown.

Adding a custom foo.php file to the wp-content/themes/twentysixteen folder with the following content works just fine and reveals the template selection meta box (title: "Page Attributes"):

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: Foo Bar
 * Template Post Type: post, page
 */

 // Do some stuff…

It also works for pages only using Template Name without Template Post Type:

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: Foo Bar
 */

 // Do some stuff…
