Text messages and IMessage from the same person are now split

Today I was texting with someone via iMessage, I wanted to reply to a text of hers but the chat started glitching out of nowhere. As I wanted to re-open our chat, I saw that there are now two threads of the same person. One is with all our texts via iMessage and one is with all our text messages. It’s not really efficient to text her. Would someone be able to identify the problem and find a solution for me?

iPhone 11, iOS 16

iMessage (Blue) -

iPhone to iPhone: requires internet (Either over WiFi or Cellular Service) as it is sent over internet protocol. Needs Activation on your device.
iPhone to Android: Not available

SMS/MMS (Green) -

iPhone to Android: does not require any internet it is sent over cellular voice protocol. Needs to be enabled by your Carrier for the SIM used by you.
iPhone to iPhone: When iMessage is not activated or the device is not connected to the internet either over cellular or WiFi

It will turn from Blue to Green if you have enabled "Send as SMS" and whenever your iPhone is not connected to the internet it is sent as SMS (green) to all iPhone users.
