one person not receiving my texts
My son is not receiving text messages from me - I can receive his but he does not get mine. However, on my phone the messages I try to send him are blue and say they were delivered.

Might you and your son be using the same Apple ID? If so, stop doing that immediately.
Here are things to do if you were using the same Apple ID:

Hi jpierini69,
Thanks for giving that a try.
Your son's iPhone might be in an area that doesn't have a good signal for data to reach through iMessage. Make sure he's in an area with internet connection, either Wi-Fi or cellular data.
I recommend your son turn iMessage off, restart his iPhone, then turn it back on. He can do that in Settings > Messages.
He'll want to check where he's able to receive and reply from on his iPhone as well. He can find that in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
If your son is still having issues receiving messages, have him contact Apple Support:

Thank you for your help! No my son has had the same iPhone for a while now and we never had a problem before. He can send me texts and when I text him he can see the 3 dots while I’m composing the message but once I send the text it doesn’t go through. However, my phone tells me that my text was delivered.
Hi jpierini69,
It sounds like you are having trouble sending messages and I want to help.
Did your son recently stop using an iPhone?
He may need to deregister his phone number from iMessage if that's the case. Otherwise devices will continue to message him through iMessage when they should not.
Tell him to follow these steps:
Deregister and Turn Off iMessage - Apple Support
