You and the other person should both check.........Settings.......Messages......and see if iMessage is turned on......when this is turned off they send as regular SMS texts which are green, iMessage are blue.

If both phones are on try turning it off on both send a few texts then turn it on wait a couple of minutes then see if it corrects when texting again.
