In order to send a picture to someone who has an Android phone, you need to have Settings>Messages>MMS and Settings>Messages>Group Messaging enabled. You also need to have those features enabled on your account and you need to have cellular data enabled. If you continue to have problems sending pictures to people with Android phones, I would recommend you contact your carrier and have them reset MMS and Group Messaging. You can sometimes do it yourself through your carrier's web portal or app. Turn the features of and back on again.
I would recommend, if you're having problems, you not try to send pictures to multiple people at once, especially if some people have iMessage and some people don't. It will just make the problem harder to troubleshoot.
Also, depending on your carrier, you may not be able to send files other than pictures to people using SMS. For example, my carrier, Verizon, doesn't support sending PDF files using MMS messaging.

Did that include contacting your carrier? If not, call your carrier, ask them to turn off MMS and Group messaging. Thank them and hang up. Restart your phone. Call your carrier back and ask them to enabled MMS and Group Messaging.
