When sending text, cannot send as green text

I have a physical sim and an eSIM. The eSIM number is registered as iMessage but not the physical sim.


when sending a text from the physical sim, iMessage persist in sending as a blue bubble if the recipient has iMessage enabled and I can’t force my iMessage to send a green bubble. As a matter of fact I can’t send at all when tapping on the send arrow which persistently remains blue.


Help!
