Q: iMessage sends then says it failed as an sms message
So I've been texting this person, an iPhone user, fairly regularly, and all of a sudden I can't send messages anymore. I can type the message as an iMessage and send it, but about 30 seconds later I get a notification saying it failed, even though I saw it send. When I go into imessage to see what happened, the text has changed to a green sms message and says It failed. It's weird because I'm not having this problem with anybody else I text. I've tried turning iMessage off and then back on, and restaring my phone, etc., but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts?
iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.4

If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
if you can imessage everyone in your contact except for this one person, then the issue is with that person phone either he/she is in an area without a strong wifi or cellular data signal or has imessage turned off.
