If you get delivery failed on images it’s probably because the recipient lost
network connectivity during recepiton. In that case you can try it again at a

the server. The most common reason for this is that the recipient failed to
resume a connection. When a client loses connectivity for a short time the client
usually has a five minute window to pick up that connection again. When the
client fails to do so because the network connectivity is out for longer than
that all messages sent to that client will be returned to the sender resulting
in a delivery failed.
Other less common reasons are that the message you sent didn’t meet some
criterias enforced by the server. (Too large, too many) Another reason could be
