My IPhone 4s is not sending text messages to just one person. Help!

All of the sudden I can't send texts to my boyfriend. It seems like I'm getting his now but he is not receiving any of mine. Any advice?

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

go to Settings > Messages and make sure Send as SMS is turned on. If he isn't on an iDevice (iPhone, iPad, iTouch, etc) or if your service isn't great your messages may not go through in a timely mannor. you may also want to scroll down and make sure the MMS Messaging is turn on as well while you're doing the above.

You may also want to make sure you aren't signed into iMessage on a computer as i've found out you may have issues.

Hey, I know I'm years late but I hope I can help someone else w/ this cause I've tried all this other stuff and NONE of them worked!

Try messaging the contact w/ your iCloud email. When it sends. Change back to your phone number. And you should be good. It worked for me. For BOTH numbers I couldn't contact.

Settings > Messages > Send & Recieve > Select email then then text phone number. Once delivered revert back to your phone number and text the number again. Should work like new!!

My iPhone won't send to one of my contacts. I have been able to until the last couple of days. She has a Samsung phone.
