Another mapping that does the job: vnoremap <C-b> s<h1><C-r>"</h1>

"s" in visual mode deletes the selected text (which puts the deleted text 
in the " register) and then enters insert mode.

In insert mode, <C-r>" inserts the contents of the " register. See ":help 
i^r" for more about inserting registers during insert.
