Either your husband needs to shut off iMessage, or you need to create 2 contact records for him on your phone with slightly different names, one that contains only his phone number for SMS/MMS messaging, and one containing his email address for iMessage.

Thank you for your reply but I don’t wish to turn off all iMessages, only to my husband as I want the messages to go to his phone not his iPad. He does not receive on his phone because they are being sent as iMessage and his phone is android. How can this be done for him only please? Can something be done with his iPad to stop this?
