Messages going to recipient's ipad not iphone

I have never had a problem sending messages from my iphone 5 to my daughter - when she had an Android phone. Now she has an iphone, messages I send are going to her ipad and not her phone! Help please!

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1

I have a similar question... my wife recently got an Android phone, and when I send from my iPhone the messages only come to her iPad Mini (if it is on and in WiFi range.) I can get around this by turning off iMessage, but then I have the same issue — other people's iMessages don't hit my phone, they end up on my iPad 3rd gen, which sits at home all day. Is there a solution?
