It is impossible to send a DM on Twitter to someone who isn't following you. The user has to follow you before you can send them a DM.

You may send a tweet (or @reply) to anyone on Twitter; you certainly don't have to be following them! Following a Twitter user just means that all their tweets appear in the "timeline" on the home page of Twitter when you log in. (Along with your tweets and the tweets of anyone else you may be following.) To follow someone, go to their Twitter page and click the "follow" button. Anyway, to send a tweet to any Twitter user, just include an @ sign followed by the username of the user you want to send the tweet to. For example, if you want to send a tweet to the user with the username JohnSmith, include @JohnSmith in you tweet.
