Looks like a strap-leaf vanda to me. Twisting of the fan suggests that it hasn't been getting enough bright, even light.
I grow my vandas bare root in baskets (or on wires) - it wouldn't hurt your plant to remove it from the pot, clean off any dead roots and grow it bare root.
You'll often hear from me that "Vandas are like mermaids - they like the sun in their face, the wind in their hair, and gentle waves lapping their fins." Translated this means 12 - 16 hours of sunlight; consistent air movement; high humidity and watering. We grow our vandas in our NH greenhouse where we have an HPS lamp to extend daylight; several fans moving air all the time; a fogger that keeps humidity at 80 - 85%; in winter, water daily in morning of on sunny days; in summer, water two or three times in morning to mid-afternoon on hot sunny days.
Vandae are not hard to bloom when they have the right culture.
David Grove's book on Vanda is an excellent resource.
