Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
When using MacBook Pro to send a text to a friend who uses an android, her messages are often flagged as "not sent". I have no problems from other devices, just the MacBook. Any suggestions? Thanks!
MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.10
The Mac cannot send SMS messages to non Apple devices on its own.
Unless there is a paired iPhone connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the Mac, the Mac will not be able to send the message.
Make sure your iPhone is nearby, turned on, and connected to Wi-Fi.

This did not help. I only began having a problem after the last update. And I already checked the "forward SMS/MMS text messages" issue. My phone is nearby, turned on, and connected to Wi-Fi. I can text from my phone, but not my Mac or my iPad (which has also been updated recently).

Are they devices turned on in "Text Message Forwarding" in Settings on the iPhone?
If they are, try toggling them off, then turning off text Message forwarding, and turning everything back on.
