I have tried to remove my cell number from iMessage on my IP5 but it won't let me. I would like to iMessage some people and text some others. Thanks

You can't remove the number from the iphone, but in settings>messages>send&receive, you can set the icloud email address to be the primary "caller id" for your iMessages. That way, people you iMessage in a new thread will see your icloud email and people you SMS will see your number. You can't pick and choose who gets what type of message however. Hope this helps.
What purpose does it serve to have all iPhone users see the iCloud email address and all others such as Android and home phone users see the phone number?

You need the phone number regardless
