So sorry for the confusion. It's the same place.
You probably have a bucket of free texts you're using.
Blue messages are iMessages, which use data and can only be sent between iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
Green messages are standard text messages.
You can turn off iMessages in Settings -> Messages if you want. Then, everything will send as standard text messages.
