I've sent a couple of texts and this person never responded, im wondering if maybe I was blocked. If it matters I have verizon, I'm not sure what she has.
I have a block on my phone and the call will still go through on my end but goes to voice mail. I just have a choice if i want to care of not. Im assuming texting is the same but i got it for calls not texts.
You should also recognize that voice mail and texting are not 100% sure to be 'instantaneous".
I've timed some messages that were left on a voice mail, where it was over 20 minutes before their phone showed a "message waiting" indicator.
And once, someone left VMs and Txts on my phone, starting on a Friday evening. My phone was on, and I made outgoing calls that weekend so it was working but I had no clue that those VMs/Txts were waiting. They finally got me on a land-line Monday late morning.
To check the phone, I turned it Off & On, and immediately was shown 12 VMs and 23 texts from them, all with EXACTLY the same date-time stamp (seconds after I re-powered the phone).
I took a photo of the Txt Log to prove something was wrong, as that was the only way they'd believe me!
(Since writing and sending a VM or a Txt takes a minimum of a few seconds, having multiple messages with the exact same time-stamp, to the second, is proof that there was a glitch somewhere).

Great point. On all the devices in our household, the messaging app (educated guess; not 100% sure) gronks and appears to be working, but isn't. Texts will stop being sent or received with no indication that anything's wrong. The "missing" messages get transmitted when the phone is restarted.
On a side note, it's not a bad idea to reboot your devices every day or two, just as a matter of practice. Problems like this one are quite visible, but other, similar kinds of buggy issues that aren't so obvious can also arise and need to be cleared up, too.

The "smarter" the phones get, the more complex they become. People forget these little things are full-out computers, and as such, regular reboots (I do mine 1st thing every Monday), are very helpful at "cleaning the slate" and getting all the software reset.
