Because either you have no connection to your carrier’s network, you don’t have cellular data enabled, or your account with your carrier is not configured correctly. Messages to non-iPhones use SMS and MMS, which are carrier-managed features; SMS uses the voice channel, and MMS uses that plus cellular data. Neither can use Wi-Fi. So if your status line shows a carrier’s name and signal bars, and you have cellular data turned on, contact your carrier for assistance.
