iMessage a dead phone broke my iMessage?

I was messaging my wife while her phone was dead and the texts switched to green text. Now that her phone is back on the texts are still sending to her as regular sms and not iMessage. I tried signing in and out of iMessage and it doesn’t work. It’s so annoying and I don’t know how to fix it..

I had to uncheck all the options under Settings>Messages>>Send&receive>Then had to click the blue email at the bottom to completely sign out of iMessage. The aesthetic is so much better with the blue. Not sure if deleting the thread helped trigger it or not but it works now. Cheers.
