Why is my iPhone keep sending SMS text instead of iMessage to my friend?

I have a friend with an iPhone 8 that I will text, it will sometimes switch on and off from green and blue bubbles (text message and iMessage). Sometimes this makes my friend unable to see the texts that I sent.



(I’m on iPhone 12 running iOS 17.0.3 by the way, I don’t know why it is saying iPhone 6 lol)

iPhone 6
