Are you having difficulties with SMS Text Messages - or all Messages sent/received from the Messages App on your iPad?
- Blue Bubbles = Apple iMessage
- Green Bubbles = SMS (Text) or MMS (Picture) messaging over Cellular messaging services
Do you have an iPhone, or just an iPad. To send SMS Text Messages, 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.
Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON
