Am I blocked? Contact sent a 'question'

I replied to an iMessage. It sent as text message.

He then 'questioned' his last message

I then 'questioned' mine. And sent another message. Again sent as text message not I message. So green not blue.

However my 'question mark' is blue but the message green.

What is going on?!!!

The question mark being blue means that you sent it, and it would appear that it went as an iMessage. For iMessage to be successful, both parties have to be using iOS devices, and both devices have to have an active connection to the internet. It isn't unusual for connections to temporarily fail. If the message was sent as a text, it would appear the connection to one or both of you had a problem. This has no indication of you being blocked. If you were blocked, the receiver would not get your message at all.
