Why do my text messages to non-IOS numbers not show up on my wifi iPad Air?

iMore Question

My iPad is linked to my iPhone 5. I have always had the occasional issue where "green" text messages (i.e. messages to non IOS people) would have a delay and show up on my phone but not my iPad. But starting yesterday, it seems that my iPad is simply not in the loop. Had 2 text strings where I can send msgs from my phone, but not my iPad. iPad texts work correctly with other IOS devices, but not my android friends.

I have installed the latest IOS updates on both iPad and iPhone. Also hard resets and manual iCloud backups for both. Still not working.

TIA for any suggestions!
