I like being able to text off my MacBook.
Sometimes the responses don't go to my phone so I miss messages and only get them when I open my Mac.
Does anyone know how I can receive messages on my iPhone and my Mac?

In iOS 6, your phone number and your Apple ID will be unified, so when you'll receive a iMessage or a Facetime call, they will appear on all your devices (iOS and Mac OS).
More info here.
So I think you just need to wait until this fall to resolve your problem !
It sounds like you simply have iMessage enabled on your Mac (which doesn't have anything to do with plugging your phone in, since your messages are synced through iCloud).
Anyway, just open up Messages (iChat), go to Preferences > Accounts, select your iMessage account in the list on the left and then unchecked the "enable this account" checkbox.

On your iPhone, go into Settings->Messages->Text Message Forwarding and switch the switch by your Mac off. Once off, switch it back on and then authenticate it on your Mac.
