I had the same problem and this is what worked for me:


1. Turn iMessage off

2. Reboot the iPhone

3. Go to messages and delete the thread of that persons messages (I didn't back anything up because I just wanted it fixed)

4. Make sure there aren't any group messages with that contact.

5. Write down their contact info

6. Delete that contact

7. Compose a new message and manually enter the phone number.

8. I sent 2 messages that were green and received one back (that said hers was also green) but on the THIRD response, my message was blue.

9. Re-add the contact


Hope this works!!
