    Because iMessage only works with Apple products.

    SMS is only available if you have iPad associated with your iPhone.

    Read here:

    With Continuity, you can also send and receive SMS and MMS messages in the Messages app on other iOS devices (with iOS 8) or a Mac (with OS X Yosemite), if you are signed in to iMessage with the same Apple ID as on your iPhone. See About Continuity features.
