The blue arrow and message bubble is iMessage which is an Apple device to Apple device feature and depends on data availability. If that is temporarily insufficient / unavailable then the message is sent via SMS which is green. If you are messaging a person with an Apple device the bubble and arrow will turn back to blue when the data connection is re-established. There is no manual way to force that.
