Why can I only send green bubbles?

I have imessage enabled but my phone never sends messages as imessages, they always send green. It’s not an issue with service as my daughter & partner have iPhones and can sit next to me and message in blue. What setting might be wrong on my phone?

Check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Your screenshot shows only your email address and not your iPhone telephone number is available. Allow your iPhone telephone number to include this iPhone in iMessage.
