What do the blue and green text messaging bubbles on iPhone?

When I text, some messages turn green and some turn blue. What does that mean?

No. Green is you sending a text, grey is the other persons reply.

Blue means the other person is texting you from an iPhone, and is using iMessage (as introduced in iOS5.

I'm confirming what Dan said. Blue text messaging bubbles means you are utilizing Apple's new iOS 5 feature, iMessaing, which means you are texting another person using an Apple mobile device with iOS 5 such as an iPad, iPod Touch, or iPhone. These text messages are real and do not count toward your carrier bill. Green text messaging bubbles mean you are texting someone who is using a non apple device or they simply haven't upgraded to the latest iOS mobile software.

The green ones should be the ones you sent, and the blue ones should be the ones from the other person. Other than that I have no idea.

One color is you, the other color is the person texting you
