Hey there,

Make sure you and that person is enabled the iMessage!

If you see a green message bubble instead of a blue one, then that message was sent using MMS/SMS instead of iMessage. There are several reasons for this:

The person that you sent the message to doesn't have an Apple device.
iMessage is turned off on your device or on your recipient’s device. To check if iMessage is turned on for your device, go to Settings > Messages > iMessage.
iMessage is temporarily unavailable on your device or on your recipient’s device.
