My friend had an android and an IPad, my text go to his iPad not the android how do I correct it?

This is always a bit of a tricky situation. I would guess that the email address you have for him in contacts is also his Apple ID. I suggest you create two contacts for your friend. One should have his phone number but no email address. The other should have his email address and no phone number. Label them so you know which is which. Only send messages to the contact with the phone number.

You may need to delete all conversation threads with him from your phone before this starts working.

Make sure that both "Send as SMS" is on as well as MMS Messaging. Also check your settings in Content & Privacy Restrictions.

Settings>Messages>Send as SMS has nothing to do with sending messages to Android phones. What that setting does is, if a message sent as an iMessages fails, it will automatically resend it as an SMS. This is explained in the very tiny print under the settings. You can also test it out for yourself by turning it off and sending an SMS message to someone with an Android phone.
