Q: IMessage email problems

i have an iPad and my iMessage for my iPad is my email. I just gave my imessage( email) to one of my class mates so she could start a group chat for a project I have with some other classmates. I just got a text from them but instead of it being a text message it was an email. How can I get it to be a normal text instead of an email?

iPad, iOS 7.1.2, Message
