My iMessage is turned on but I still get the message that I have to turn on iMessage.

Does the person RECEIVING the iMessage have to have it turned on as well? What about non iPhone recipients?

Because there's something wrong with how your account is configured with your carrier. Call them, ask them to remove MMS and then put it back.
