Messages won't send to one recipient

Though I successfully message back and forth with my friend from my iPhone, I keep getting error message "Your message was not sent. Click Try Again to send this message." when I use the Messages desktop app.''

I've tried the following:

rebooting the app and the OS
making sure I'm logged in on the app
messaging others successfully with the app
enabling all essential preferences

What could be the reason for my desktop messages not going through for 3 weeks?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.6

Here's one possibility:

You might want to check that the Contact card for your friend has all the correct details:

Text, call, or email a contact in Contacts on Mac - Apple Support

If needed you can edit the contact card: Update contact information in Contacts on Mac - Apple Support

INB: Click "Edit" at the bottom of the window to begin :

(Click "Done" to save your changes)

Else: If you friend has an Android device, you may need to use cellular data for SMS Messages.to that friend

(iMessages generally go by wi-fi Apple to Apple)

Eg: If you can’t send or receive messages on your Mac - Apple Support
