Check you got the correct APN details setup, it's a common cause of being unable to download MMS.
If it contains images then by definition it's MMS, but turning messages longer than 160 characters to MMS is not automatic on most networks - certainly GSM networks (the overwhelming majority worldwide) allow messages up to 5*160 characters to be sent as SMS.
As Luna says, goup messages are often sent as MMS, even when they are ordinary short texts. Most message apps have a setting to control this behaviour, but many people won't have looked at the settings.

over 160 characters on Verizon is just broken up into multiple consecutive messages, depending on your message app and type of phone. This just the protocol for SMS.
ie, a plain vanilla phone, or a smartphone?
and adding an image, as mentioned, automatically is sent via MMS via your DATA channel.
