Q: Blue IMessages being sent as green texts

My IMessages on my iPhone6, to one particular person used to go through as blue and said "delivered". Now, for the last couple days when I send a text, they sit there as blue, and maybe 3-5 min later, they automatically turn green and get "Sent as Text Message". This has just been happening with this one individual.

 

I've turned on/off my phone, deleted the strand completely and sent new messages, turned on/off iMessage & SMS in Settings.... However, they are still being sent automatically as green text. I do have my SMS on....

 

Does this mean I am blocked?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.2.1

No, it doesn't necessarily mean your blocked. It may mean that the person to whom you're sending the message has either signed out of iMessage or does not have an active data connection (either cellular or WiFi). What did they say when you asked them?

    If this is the only person with an iPhone/iPad/iPod touch that get free bubble then it's not your problem.

    That person might have his/her iMessage switched off or having Internet connectivity issue.

    You can tell him/her to switch iMessage off and then re-activate it.
