iMessages occasionally sent as SMS?


sometimes message people imessage , it's flawless, other times default sms. know why happens?

also, when start typing people's names in recipients field, there blue bubbles beside people have imessage. bubble gone , when click on person, send button green (meaning sent sms) few seconds before turns in blue imessage button. :confused:
 

while haven't worked out ins & outs of imessage yet, either, believe takes second or 2 verify availability of internet access of recipient's iphone - starts off sms , switches imessage if can.

there may situations recipient doesn't have internet access (i.e., roaming on cell network) voice & sms come through data may not. no point in sending imessage on internet if recipient can't it. in situations, sms preferred, imessage app checks first.
