Go to Settings>Messages and make sure that your iMessage is activated and check your Send & Receive and make sure your number is selected there. If not, then turn iMessage off, power cycle the phone and then turn iMessage back on and wait for it to activate. Then check your Send & Receive and make sure your phone number is listed now.
