I use the Hangouts plugin for Chrome, but I just checked if it was an option within the gmail interface and it is! You just have to create a conversation with a contact and then click the SMS icon at the top of the conversation. At some point a year ago or so, they tried to clumsely merge Hangouts and SMS conversations. I actually preferred it when they were merged, but it looks like they rolled that back now. *shrugs* In any case, hope that helps!
