iMessage texts blue on iPhone but green and not delivered on Mac

when I text my mom on my iPhone, my message is blue and it says delivered. When I text my mom from my MacBook using the Mac messages app, it sends a green bubble message and it says not delivered (SMS Not encrypted). I don't know what's going on, what should I do ?

In my case, it’s the ipad that can’t seem to send a message to an android phone. I’ve followed all the instructions I could find about phone settings for non-apple recipients. Multiple times. Still a constant problem! Ever since the last update.

I cannot send messages from my iPad to an android phone. Android messages are pushed to my iPad, but if I reply, it says not delivered. I cannot originate messages from my iPad to an android phone either. I can send and receive messages from my iPhone. No issues with iPhone to iPhone messaging. I have searched and performed all of the “fixes” I can find. I updated to iOS 27.2 on October 27. This issue began the next day, near as I can tell.
