Green text message bubble ?

I texted my friend and the bubble was blue and didn’t say delivered or anything underneath it but immediately turned green and said “ sent as text message “ underneath it what does this mean ?

There's different ways for messages to be sent. In your case it didn't work over Apple's own system so it used your carrier's system instead.
