You can think of iMessages as a messenger like WhatsApp. When you send iMessage to iPhone it can be sent only over the internet and the second person won't be able o receive it without cellular data or Wi-Fi.


When you send message to Android, it goes as a regular SMS. See this article: If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
