Because they may not be logged into or otherwise be configured to use iMessage.

In that case your messages will use SMS and will be green.

Messages are green since I updated my iPhone to iOS 18 ever since I updated my phone to IOS.18 everytime I try to text someone it’s green. Or in other words sms but I need it to be blue in order to text someone, however when someone texts me first it fixes (magically) and it goes back to normal for a few minutes then it’s back to green/sms. Apple please fix this I wanna text my gf and I can’t 🙁‼️ (If my grammar isn’t fully correct don’t mind it please☹️) [Re-Titled by Moderator]
