Files without extension cannot be set to binary nor text. Instead a  
heuristic is used to decide if they are text, which is effectively if  
the first 1024 bytes are valid UTF-8 or alternatively, if the file  
creator is TxMt or (I think) type is text. The latter two things can  
be set with the SetFile shell command.
