Moon icon in iMessage

My friend and I have both upgraded to ios 8. Now, every imessage she gets from me has a moon symbol next to it. Neither of us has Do Not Disturb on and all other imessages come through without the symbol. Sometimes the moon is a gray crescent and sometimes it is a blue circle with a crescent moon inside it. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these?

iPhone 5c, iOS 8

Click on the text of the person that has the moon symbol. Then click on the details icon (“i” circled) in the top right hand corner. Scroll down and there’s an option to “Hide Alerts”. If it’s green, then you’re hiding the alerts of that person, which will show the moon symbol. Slide it to off, which will change to gray. Now you will start receiving alerts again from that person. You need to do this for each person who has the moon symbol. There’s nothing in settings that will do this.. only by each individual person in your texts/messages. 😊
