my 6s iPhone spontaneously started texting through my iCloud account, showing my texts in green instead of blue. how do I return the phone and texting to its previous state

Texts will be green if the recipient does not have an iPhone, or if they have iMessage turned off on their iPhone.
Or if you have iMessage turned off in Settings/Messages, or you are not signed in when you go to Settings/Messages/Send & Receive.
