Apple uses iMessage to send to other iPhones. Similarly Android has its own messaging system. So those Android users probably still have your number saved as an Android device and since you've previously messaged them on the Android system, their phones are still sending messages to your old Android.

I would maybe have them edit your number in their phone. And also turn off your Android when doing tests. On an iPhone, you can long-press a message that is attempting to send as an iMessage and choose to send it as an SMS.
Basically, the Android phones need to now be sending you SMS messages instead of Android system messages.
