It's because at least one person in your group is either not using an iPhone or they have iMessage turned off.


SMS texts (green) don't support tapback reactions (like, love, etc). If you have a group message and everyone is using an iPhone with iMessage turned on, the messages are blue. Tapback reactions will work. Since they don't work over SMS, a message is sent instead "You liked a message", etc.
