  Hello
  
  You have to know how work a shortcode :
  
  a) When you call "[message class=green-message]This is a message.[/message]"
  b) "message" is the shortcode name, added by "add_shortcode( 'message' ...).
  c) "This is a message" is the "$content" var (default null).
  d) Also, "class=green-message" or "aaa=bbb" are attributes, it goes in the "atts" function in an array.
  e) The ligne "extract( ... )" will perform some action to convert the attributes in easy php var.
  so "class=green-message" will become "$class = 'green-message'", you can now use "$class" in your code.
  f) Then in a shortcut you have to "return" a value, never echoes it.
  
  In your actual code you wrote "[message class=green-message]This is a message.[/message]" Your shortcode does not use "$class" but "$messtype" !
  
  2 solutions :
  1. use this shortcode in place of the other.
  
  

  function message( $atts, $content = null )
  
  {
  
  	extract( shortcode_atts( array(
  
        'class' => '',
  
        ), $atts ) );
  
  
  
  	// convert the shortcode to this on the front end
  
  	return '<div class=" ' . $class . ' ">' . $content . '</div>';
  
  }
  
  add_shortcode('message', 'message');

  
  
  2. or call

  [message messtype=green-message]This is a message.[/message]

  in place of your shortcode.
  
  See you !
