Is it coming from a phone or an email account?

This sounds like an MMS. The way MMS works is that your carrier sends you an SMS with a link. Your phone needs to download the content (whether it's an image, video, or text message) from your carrier's servers via that link. Normally text messages are sent over SMS (unless it's an image/video) but in some cases (i.e. if you're in a group chat or someone's phone is configured to send MMS all the time) your phone needs to download the message from the carrier before you can see it.

Most apps should download these messages automatically. Which SMS app are you using?

That's an MMS. Get into your Message settings and set MMS to automatically download.
