Messages.app / iMessage hijacking text messages

Question

Text messages to my number are received either by my phone or by Messages.app (iMessage), but not both. If I leave my computer on then I will inexplicably not receive texts on my phone (until the computer goes to sleep, I suppose).

How do I configure my devices so that Messages would contain the same information as my iPhone?

OS X 10.10.1, iOS 7.1.2, iPhone 5s, MacBook Pro 2009

You don't receive them at all on iPhone, or they just appear in the conversation history but not as new messages? Also I would strongly recommend upgrading to iOS 8 as it would play better with Yosemite. — tubedogg, Dec 08 '14 at 08:52
Make sure you have both set to be able to contact you at, at least, your phone number & your iCloud 'main' email address. — Tetsujin, Jan 10 '15 at 15:22

I think it is s matter of having wifi on at your Mac. Once it goes to sleep, wifi is off and you receive iMessages on your phone. Right now, the only thing I found that worked is either have your data on at all times on your phone or make sure your Mac is turned of when you leave.
