It isn't like her teammates were like "Hey Blake, are you a Faunus?" so she isn't really lying to her team. Don't ask, don't tell. I find it more surprising that in the weeks they have known each other, has Blake's bow never come up in conversation? Then again that would't be too surprising considering the odd fashion choices a lot of characters have that no one mentions (Jaune's hoodie under his armor, Ruby's cape, even Weiss' battle skirt isn't brought up until Blake and her get into a cat fight).

As far as Blake telling Weiss that she left the White Fang when she was younger, I had an idea earlier today. While it is more likely that she is talking factually, as she left the White Fang during the Blake Trailer and then enrolled in Beacon after an unknown amount of time (weeks? months? maybe a year?); she could have been speaking metaphorically. She was a member of the peaceful White Fang for most of her life and felt that they were doing a good thing. Then the organization became violent with a change in leadership and despite still being called the White Fang, this new group no longer supported Blake's ideals. While still officially a member, Blake may have felt the WF was going in a different direction that she couldn't go down and slowly began drift away from them until her eventual resignation in the Black Trailer.
