Turning on do not disturb does not prevent somebody from receiving a message, they simply don't get a notification, but the message is still delivered. I think if you were strictly on WiFi with no cell coverage this would happen if you send an SMS because I don't think you can send an SMS on just a Wi-Fi data connection, only iMessages and of course messages in apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and so on can be sent, but not a regular text message. For that you need a good old cell connection. It is more likely an issue on your end than on their end because strictly speaking I don't think you have to turn on the Sent as SMS if iMessage is unavailable, this would only effect users of iOS devices who normally get their message as an iMessage. I think if the message fails to send it fails on your end.

That sounds more like a network error. Are you on Wi-Fi when this happens? If so, try rebooting the Wi-Fi router. If on cellular, then I would bet it is a network issue. I have never had a faled to send error. If you are sending audio or pictures, also make sure Send As MMS is on.
