CALL her on the phone and leave a message that you would like to take her out for a drink or dinner if she doesn't answer...come on...

 You only sent the text message today, give it time, im sure she will reply to you. She could be busy, something could have cropped up, or she could just be trying to leave it abit as to make her self not look to keen. Who knows, if she has not text in a couple of days send her one more, if you get no response that time then maybe its time to call it a day. But give it time, there is nothing worse than phone watching waiting for reply's.
Good luck

I say wait it out and do nothing.
I'd leave it at that to be honest if she doesn't reply and just assume that was a brush off like Bondgirl said. For one she's a co-worker and if dating her is your intention then that's not the best idea, she probably felt on the spot when you asked for it and didn't want to create tension at that moment. Secondly I have no time for games, if she gives out her number and is too lazy to respond then "see you later, I'll find a girl who is interested enough to at least respond to a text."
If you only texted her as friendly co-worker thing with no romantic intentions then just say it to her.

 Um,Why not simply CALL her?
If you see her at work say hi and see how she reacts.

 Did you confirm with her that she has texting capability with that number? Maybe she gave you the landline number and expected you to call her. Try giving her a call and see what happens.
Occasionally, I don't receive texts people send to me, either I'm out of range or the phone is off or there's just some glitch.
I'd go in and treat her like a nice co-worker, professional and as though nothing had happened. "Hey, Sarah, I sent you a text, I just wanted to make sure you got it?"
Good luck. If you are interested in her romantically, ask her out already. She knows whether she'd say 'yes' or 'no,' so you may as well risk the rejection. The upside is then that you'd know where you stand. The downside is you have to face the pain of rejection.

 I would say something to her at work and if she seems stand-offish, then I would let it go. Something like "Hey...how are you today? I sent you a text...did you get it?" See how she responds. If it seems like she'd rather not talk, then drop it.
Some people will give out their numbers when asked because they don't like to say "no" or be impolite to others. You can usually get a pretty quick idea of whether they really want to hear from you or not.
