To get rid of green iMessage texts and use blue ones instead, ensure both sender and receiver are using Apple devices and are connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data. Next, go to Settings > Messages and turn on iMessage. If it's already on, toggle it off and on again. This switches from SMS (green) to iMessage (blue), provided there's an internet connection. For troubleshooting, verify that both parties have active internet and the latest iOS version.
