I guess it's an iPhone with the wrong number in the settings.
Settings >Phone >MyNumber

Ok, so firstly try deleting their number from your contacts and then save them again from the next text they send.
Which number works for calls?
Also get them to check if they have saved their number wrong to their SIM card somehow?
