When your SMS text message has been delivered, the “SMS: Delivered” status will appear next to your SMS text message.
If the Send SMS Message option is greyed out, this is most likely because your contact hasn’t saved a text-enabled number (usually a mobile number) in their profile. To add a mobile number to the contact, just click via SMS in the conversation window, then click Add phone
