hi - it is correct that you cannot send a text message from an ipad to a number showing as green, even if you have data and cellular options, but can only send via imessage to the numbers showing in blue?
iPad Pro, iOS 11

You must explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for your iPad on your iPhone.
On your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices.
