Text message addressing..?

Why is it that when I choose "new text message" and I begin to type in the name, then the drop down appears showing available contacts. I choose one of the contacts but at the top is says "number" is not in your contacts..?? I just picked the number from my contacts. Why does it say its not in my contacts..??

Update:

Area codes are exactly as they appear in my contacts
