Hello Kiwi518,
I understand you are having some issue sending messages to some friends that have and do not have iPhone's. I know that it can be frustration but let's take a look to see if we can get it resolved.
I would start with taking a look at the articles below. The first one will go over multiple troubleshooting options with sending and receiving messages on your iPhone or iPad. If you are having issues with it on your iPad and it you are using Continuity to send messages to non iPhone users, the second article will have some troubleshooting options for you as well.
