Why can't I receive a message on my Samsung Galaxy S4 from a Samsung Galaxy Centura?

The Galaxy Centura is thru tracfone

Welcome to Android Central! What kind of message? Is it purely text, or does it have a photo or other file attached? If so, both parties have to make sure mobile data is on, since multimedia messages can't be sent over voice signal or wi-fi.

And make sure you don't have the Centura's number blocked in the S4.
