What range are they in? E.g., for a 16-bit range:
bitstream = dec2bin(typecast(int16(b),'uint16'));
You've got numbers outside the signed 8-bit range in your example, so it will simply not be possible to represent them using your 8-bit scheme. So maybe just using a 16-bit or 32-bit conversion will work for your application.
