why are my messages sometimes sent as chat and texts

since I received the note 5 I have sent texts but today I sent a text to a new person and I see its "enter chat msg" in the box where you type. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I notice it's only happening with this one person and no one else.

That happens if the other person also has a samsung phone and is using the default text application. You'll find that you get a small notification if the other person is typing, that it's been delivered or read too in that mode. It's completely seamless
