Why do not all Texts come through to my iPad from my iPhone?

I have successfully connected my iPhone text messages to my Ipad and most texts from my iPhone to my IpAd go through except a select few. Anyone know why just a handful does not show on my Ipad from my Iphone?

Thank you

Are these select few non-iMessage users? If so, that's probably the reason. iMessage uses your iPhone mobile number and the email addresses you set up to be able to send and receive messages. Non-iMessage users can only send to your mobile number.

This is exactly right. I cannot see texts from my android friends on my iPad. Hopefully this will change if/when Apple allows iMessage for Android.
