iMessages blue but not delivered

So I texted a friend a few days ago and it was blue and was not delivered. It sent it as a text and when they responded it was blue and went back to normal as a iMessage. I texted same friend this morning and it blue and the text box still says iMessage.


I’ve tested the blocked theory. Each time I block another person with an iPhone. On their end it says sent as text message and turns green. The message box also now says text message instead of iMessage.


where in this case, the friend I texted this morning, it’s still blue and the message box still says iMessage.


has anyone else had this issue?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17
