That would sound like it is a problem on that person's end. Are you sure they still have an iOS device? If they no longer have an iOS device, or have turned off iMessage, that is what would happen. What happens if they text you? If they do have an iOS device, have them check to see if their iMessage is activated. Also, you can try deleting their text history from your device and start over and see if it defaults to iMessage.
