Use Messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

When imessage is unavailable it will send it as a SMS, either someone has imessage turned off or they are in an area with a weak wifi or cellular data connections.
