You can tell if your message has been sent via iMessage in Apple's messaging app because it'll be blue. If it's green, it's an ordinary text message and doesn't offer the read/delivered receipts.

If it's green, it's an ordinary text message and doesn't offer the read/delivered receipts. iMessage only works when you're sending messages to other iPhone users. Even then, you'll only see that they've read your message if they've turned on the 'Send Read Receipts' option in Settings > Messages.

While the phone is off that message will wait on Apple's servers. However there is a setting under Messaging which says “Send as SMS”. If you have this setting enabled then when an iMessage is not delivered your phone will cancel the original iMessage, and instead send it as an SMS (green bubble).

When you send an iMessage, Apple will route that message through their servers using an Internet connection. This Internet connection can be either Wi-Fi or your cellular provider's data network. If no Internet connection is available, the Messages app may attempt to deliver the iMessage as a regular SMS text message.

This could be caused if there is no Internet connection. If the option to “Send as SMS” is turned off, the iMessage will not be delivered until the device is back online. You can force an undelivered iMessage to be sent as a regular text message regardless of the “Send as SMS” setting.

Select “Messages“. Choose “Send & Receive“. Ensure that only your phone number is listed in the “You can be reached by iMessage at” area. If you have an email address or anything else listed, it could cause duplicate text messages.

Thanks for using the  Apple Support Communities. If the contact's number is in red, it means you can't send iMessage to this number. You have to send regular SMS message.

The obvious reason your message won't deliver is because the recipient has no service. iMessage relies on an internet connection, so if no Wi-Fi or cellular data is available, it won't appear until their phone gets a connection.
