Where is the "Send as Text Message" option?

This article: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2425311,00.asp indicates that clicking and holding on a sent iMessage in iOS 7 pops up a menu with the following three options: 'Copy', 'Send as Text Message' and 'More...'. On my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.4) I don't get the 'Send as Text Message' option. Why? Thanks.

Thanks. I tried to do this but the message goes out on iMessage instantaneously. No time to hold on it and select the 'Send as Text Message' option.
My problem is I am trying to send a message to someone's iPhone without a data plan. So, when the person is away and not connected to Wi-Fi, he or she will not receive my messages that go out on iMessage (and likely land on the person's other Apple devices at home). Combining iMessage with SMS seems like an error on Apple's side. Is there a workaround?
