Let $\Delta$ be a Delzant polytope in ${\mathbb R}^n$ and ${\mathbf b}\in{\mathbb Z}^n$. Let $E$ denote the symplectic fibration over $S^2$ determined by the pair $(\Delta,\,{\mathbf b})$. Under certain hypotheses, we prove the equivalence between the fact that $(\Delta,\,{\mathbf b})$ is a mass linear pair (D. McDuff, S. Tolman, {\em Polytopes with mass linear functions. I.} Int. Math. Res. Not. IMRN 8 (2010) 1506-1574.) and the vanishing of a characteristic number of $E$. Denoting by ${\rm Ham}(M_{\Delta})$ the Hamiltonian group of the symplectic manifold defined by $\Delta$, we determine loops in ${\rm Ham}(M_{\Delta})$ that define infinite cyclic subgroups in $\pi_1({\rm Ham}(M_{\Delta}))$, when $\Delta$ satisfies any of the following conditions: (i) it is the trapezium associated with a Hirzebruch surface, (ii) it is a $\Delta_p$ bundle over $\Delta_1$, (iii) $\Delta$ is the truncated simplex associated with the one point blow up of ${\mathbb C}P^n$.
