Hi Sage C,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like this happens with a particular contact so it may be best to first check to see whether either of you may have accidentally blocked the other. The following guidance can help and is from Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.
"Manage your blocked phone numbers, contacts, and emails
To see the phone numbers, contacts, and email addresses that you've blocked from Phone, FaceTime, Messages, or Mail:
Phone
Go to Settings > Phone and tap Blocked Contacts to see the list.
FaceTime
Go to Settings > FaceTime. Under Calls, tap Blocked Contacts.
Messages
Go to Settings > Messages. Under SMS/MMS, tap Blocked Contacts.
Go to Settings > Mail. Under Threading, tap Blocked."
If neither of you see the other person in your blocked lists, we'd recommend moving on to the guidance in If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support which can help with most messaging issues.
All the best.
