Hangouts text messages are blank.

Can someone please help me?
When I send a text and whenever I get a reply, I get a white blank text message. But its only with this recipient that I am having this
problem with. He also has Verizon but I think he has a 3s, not sure though.
Can anyone, please let me know if there is anything that I can do to get the messages back.
Thank you.

Does it happen all the time? I don't use hangouts but i got a text message today like that...it is the first and only time it has happened...it came through after a few minutes and seems fine now.

Hope someone has an answer for you.
