iMessage/sms

If I want to send a message to an iphone that is not connected to internet will it still reach the destinatary when I send it it after his phone is connected? How do I change an iMessage to an sms without changing the general settings?

iPhone 5s, iOS 11.1

Maybe. It will depend on how long it is before the person reconnects their device. If it's a matter of a couple of hours, yes, probably. If it's more than a couple of days, possibly not. If it's important, send an email.
