I can not send or receive sms messages with none Apple devices even over cellular. I could on the old iPad and thought it was because it was still logged into my I’d, however once I deleted it from my I’d and erased it and even waited a day in case of system lag, it still will not work for non Apple devices. How can this be corrected?

Having changed to a new iPad, you will need to update settings on your iPhone - and explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for your devices.
On your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices.
Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON
