Ask your friend if they use to have an iPhone and used iMessage. If so, they probably didn't unregister their phone number with iMessage before changing phones and your iPhone is still trying to send iMessages to their number. If that's the case, they need to contact Apple support and request that their mobile number be unregistered for iMessage.

I am having the same issue all of a sudden this week my spouse doesn't receive my texts. I have tried all the fixes and.....nothing. he went to his carrier (same one as mine) and they can't help either. I spent an hour on the apple support phone and nothing!!! ready to buy a galaxy!! I scratched my phone...all my info, started like a brand new phone....and VOILA!!!!! NOTHING!!!!!
