I presume you're using a program that supports OpenType: When using the fraction feature, you must take care to select only the numbers that you wish to include in the fraction; the fraction feature has no way of determining if you mean "five and one sixty-fourth" or "fifty-one sixty-fourths" if you invoke the fraction feature across the whole range of "51/64". The fraction should already match the weight of whole number, since, if you're using an app that supports the OpenType fraction feature, you should be getting "designed" fractions.
