Contact in my text are green instead of blue and I can't send the text

I am trying to send a text to 5 people from my MacBook. Three of the names appear in blue, two in green. The text will not send unless I eliminate the two names in green. One of these is my husband, and I text him frequently. I tried sending him an individual text and that doesn't work either.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.3
