iMessage Won't send to Android from Mac

I'm running High Sierra on my iMac, and whenever I try to send a text to an Android user from Messages, it errors out telling me the phone number isn't registered with iMessage. This just started.

Hi Mitch, you can't send a iMessage if the person you want to sent the message don't have an Apple device


If you want a text message from your Mac, you will need to have an iPhone and to activate text message forwarding on your iPhone
