Hi, on the iPhone open Settings, then Messages, then Send & Receive. Make sure your phone number and Apple Account email are both ticked. Do the same in Messages settings on the Mac.

Also check that the contact isn't hiding in Unknown Senders or Filtered messages. If that all looks right, turn iMessage off and on again on the iPhone.
