Hello aquariusX2,
I see that you're only getting messages to your Mac for one of your contacts. I understand your concern, and I'd be happy to help.
Let's start by having you restart both devices and then test to see if the issue remains. If the issue remains, and since this is only happening with one of your contacts, you can delete the thread on your iPhone and start a new on and test again. The articles below will help, if needed.
Use Messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
In the second article listed below, look at the section titled "Delete a message or conversation".
Hope this helps.
Have a great day!
