What I noticed was that you and whoever your sending your message to has to have their imessage on and have their send/recieve set up for a number. Also, in your contacts, your friends number/ apple id has to be in your contacts. I have my friends apple id in as home email. then if you in messages, click create new, and search for your friends name, you have to choose the apple id/ number your sending the message to. Also, if you dont want your messages sending as sms, you have to go in imessage and turn send as sms off. Does this help you?
