How do I get phone #'s to come up instead of email addresses when trying to send a MMS?

I just got my Galaxy S4 2 days ago and was trying to send a picture from my gallery as a text message to a friend.  I know I can start from messaging, and then attach the picture, but I was already in the picture, so clicked on the messaging icon from the picture, and when I started typing my friend's name, it only brought up her email address, not her phone #.  I didn't want to email her, I wanted to send it to her phone as a text message.  The only way I could do this was to start typing her phone #, instead of her name.  I don't know a lot of people's phone #'s by heart, so I don't understand why it isn't bringing up phone #'s when I start to type the person's name?  I had the Droid Razr before, and that's how I always sent pictures.  When I started typing a name it would bring up phone #'s and email addresses to choose from.  If anyone knows how to change this, I would love to know how!
