I cannot consistently send text messages from my Macbook to a contact (in my contacts list) who have an android. I've logged out and in on my iCloud account, restarted my Macbook, done everything found on google. Sometimes the messages go through sometimes not. If they do not go through, they also do not show up on my iPhone or iPad. If I send on my iPhone, the messages usually show up on my Macbook.

A macbook alone can't send text to non apple devices, unless you have this set up Forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your Mac or iPad - Apple Support
