Hello Ironspud,


It sounds like your neighbor may not be using iMessage on their iPhone. If their messages show up in a green bubble, then these are text messages. iMessages show up in blue bubbles.


You can learn more about the differences between these messages types here: What is the difference between iMessage and SMS/MMS?


Your neighbor would need to sign in to iMessage on their iPhone. You could share this with them: Set up Messages on iPhone


Hoping this helps out.


Take care.
