How to send as SMS instead of iMessage?

My boyfriends mother recently just turned off his dad plan on his iPhone for some sort of dumb punishment. Anyways, he just turned his iMessage off because switching back and fourth between iMessage and SMS whenever there was/ wasn't Wi-Fi was irritating him. But now whenever I text him it says it sent as iMessage and was delivered, but he never actually gets them. Is there any way to change it so it automatically just sends as SMS to him without having to turn my iMessage off?

Actually if he turns it off, then it won't send as imessage as both need to have it on
