I finally got this problem fixed. I had to delete my husband from my contacts, clear the text conversations for his number and then re-enter his contact info. It has worked now for several days so I am happy. I had deleted him from my contacts before and it did not work. Adding the extra step of deleting all of the texts history was the key for my phone. I had to go through and find his number and delete the sent/received texts.

I had 4 contacts who could text me, but I couldn't reply to.  This is what it I had to do to fix the issue:

1) go to settings-messaging-send&receive: make sure your # is listed in this format (at least in the usa):

+1 (603) 555-5555

2) Go to person's text thread you are having issues with and delete all the texts.

3) Go to that contact and make sure their # is also listed as:

+1 (603) 555-5555

This worked for all four of my issues.  Good luck
