Are you sure they don’t have an iPhone and maybe iMessage is disabled? Also, make sure you are sending to their mobile number and not to their email address. If they had, for example, an iPad, they might have iMessage enabled using their Apple Id email address and for some reason the message might fail.
I would also try to text that person by entering the number manually, then when you are in the edit field where you type your text, see if Voiceover says if it is an imessage or text message. Lastly, check under Settings, Messages and make sure you turn on to send as a regular SMS if iMessage is not available then your message should go either way.

When I open the failure text message, it seems to be trying to send an IMessage even though the recipient is not an IPhone, so confused, sure I am doing something very simple wrong, does anyone have any ideas? This has only been an issue since IOS but that could be totally unrelated. ******************************************************************************************************************** This message may contain confidential information.
