One of you probably lost their internet connection temporarily, or there was a problem communicating with Apple's servers. In that case as long as "Send as SMS" is turned on under Settings/Messages, it'll fall back to regular text messaging for those situations. I recommend you leave that setting turned on unless regular text messages are expensive, otherwise there will occasionally be times when you don't receive messages from other iOS users for a while.
