Hate to ask the question, but are you sure that your green family members have iPhones? It won't use iMessage unless its to another iOS device. Also, have they all upgraded to iOS 5?

Yep, has to be asked

Also, if the OP wants to make sure they get the messages across all devices, the Apple ID needs to be used, not the phone number

Also, make sure your family members have installed iOS 5. If they're still on 4, no iMessage.

Make sure iOS 5 is installed across all devices. If you do this you should be good to go when you are trying to send the message.

Had this problem with my wife. Turns out she had iMessage turned off on her iPhone. Once she turned it on, no problem.
