The Blue iMessages go through when both the sender and the receiver are on iPhone AND have iMessage activated. The Green Messages are SMS messages when the recipient is not using an iPhone. Hope this answers your question. There is nothing you can do fix that because there is nothing wrong with this behavior in Messages.
