iMessage (Blue) requires internet (Either over WiFi or Cellular Service) as it is sent over internet protocol. Needs Activation on your device.

SMS (Green) does not require any internet it is sent over cellular voice protocol. Needs to be enabled by your Carrier for the SIM used by you.

Greys are probably what you have received.
