That is not the wallet address. Wallet addresses typically starts with either 1 or 3. If it has dashes, it is wrong.

That is the Blockchain.info identifier and there is no way for you to send it to an identifier, that's just how it works. Tell your friend to login, click Bitcoin under the transaction and then press request Bitcoins and the address would be shown there, it starts with 1.

And no, I do not condone using Blockchain.info.

Wallet ID or identifier works like a username. It will be used to log in the wallet with the password and 2fa, that's it. Tbh, it is safer to keep it and not share to others. Anyway, here's a step by step guide to get the bitcoin address in blockhain wallet (share this to that someone) : https://support.blockchain.com/hc/en-us/articles/207528856-Requesting-Bitcoin

that is blockchain.info login id.

wallet addresses are inside the blockchain.info website.

login to blockchain.info
goto addressess.

you will get address there.
