How to switch 1 contact from iMessage to Text Message?

I have a friend who switched from an iPhone to a GalaxyS4, so they don't get my iMessages anymore, and it won’t convert them to text message. We have delete the contact and added him as it was new and still it wants to set messages as an iMessage. We have even put the number in as mobile and not iPhone. Can anyone help, this is for my job and I need to be able to communicate with him.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.4

This is to anyone that's having issues with iMessage deactivation,




"I no longer have my iPhone to remove iMessage."

"I still have my iPhone and I still cannot manage to completely remove iMessage."

"A friend / familly member of mine is not receiving my messages."

"If you can't access your iPhone, you no longer have it, or you can't deactivate iMessage after you try the above steps, please contact Apple Support."


Seriously, it's that simple.


Thanks,

Alena
