Re: "I am not receiving all my messages from non IPHONE users"
Seems iMessages from Apple to Apple devices go back and forth by wi-fi.
Yet:
SMS and MMS text messages to and from non-Apple devices use cellular data (provider charges may apply)
NB: Also: If wi-fi is not available messages go by cellular data, if it is turned on.

If your provider's plan permits:
You can check you are allowing the use of cellular data for SMS and MMS Messages if you want to:
(When cellular data is off, apps will use only Wi-Fi for data.)
Apple support have an article online to help: How to: Use cellular data on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

An option: Wi-Fi Assist is generally on by default.
If you wish: you check Wi-Fi Assist automatically switches to cellular when you have a poor Wi-Fi connection.
