Text messages bouncing back

I text this person everyday and I was in the middle of texting him when my message bounced back with (Edited as per community guidelines) number saying he had an invalid number. I can call and send pictures to him and that's it. I can receive his messages and I can text other people. He can also receive messages from other people so I'm not sure what the problem is. I cleared my cache and data but the problem is still ongoing.

Hey there @Alex91!

Let's look into what could be causing your inability to send outgoing SMS messages to that specific contact. We just need a little more information about your case.

What is the make and model of your device?
Does this issue occur when using cellular, Wi-Fi calling, or both?
Has anything on your device changed (such as installation of a specific app or software update) prior to the start of this issue?

If you haven't already tried make sure to perform a soft reset of your device by powering it completely off then back on again.

Let us know how this worked for you.
