How do I update a picklist value from a visualforce page?

I'm creating a visualforce page that displays data for confirmation when changes are made to a record and I wanted an email to be triggered when the changes are confirmed/ submitted. I added a picklist to the object and reference it in the page using

<td><apex:inputField value="{!RMA__c.Changes_have_been_review__c}"/>        
            </td>

It shows up fine and has the values from the picklist field but whenever you select your value and hit submit it doesn't update the objects field. 

Any help would be appreciated.
