To receive SMS/MMS from non-iOS users on the iPad, you have to have Text Message Forwarding turned on for the iPad from the iPhone. On the iPhone go to Settings>Messages>Text Message Forwarding, and select your iPad. That will allow the iPad to receive and send messages, using your iPhone to do it with. See this for other information about Continuity between devices. Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support
