I can't use my iPad message for texting.  Am I required to have an iPhone to use this service?

I used to have an iPhone but switched to the dark side and went with a Samsung Galaxy Zoom (yes an android)  I used to be able to receive and send text on my iPad.  I no longer can receive text.  Am I required to have an iPhone to do so?  I backup my iPad on iCloud and have my email associated with it.  But everytime I go to text I get an error message.

and other people who text me their messages show up on my iPad.  But there are others who are not showign up on the message when they send to me.  So puzzled as to why I can't send out and why some messages come through iPad and others do not.
