Can you please provide a couple more details -
1. Is this in reference to SMS or iMessage or both?
2. Are the groups composed of non-iPhone users as well as iPhone users?
3. Settings - Messages - do you have MMS turned on?
4. Is this a recent development or have you recently changed carriers?
1. Both
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Occurred ever since I got Iphone 6 with upgrade.
Thank you for the answers
It would almost seem that there is an issue with the text messaging "package" that you have with your carrier
I would call their tech support and request for someone specifically to look at your account provisioning on their end - we had another user where the carrier had failed to set up text messaging on their account
While you are at it - pick two iPhone wielding individuals from your contacts and try to text them in a group to see if a group message to just iPhone users is working - if yes - then it would point to my theory above - if you run into issues with that as well then we may be looking at a full restore to iron out the glitches
