Taking your pill at the same time every day is to maintain the maximum level of effectiveness. However, it doesn't mean that if you don't take it at the same time daily, that you are no longer protected. As long as you continue to take your pills daily, the 1-4 hour difference in the time you take it should not make a significant difference or a difference at all.
Taking your daily birth control pill alone, I would say you're okay and not pregnant. Since you also took Plan B, I really think you are safe from pregnancy. If you want to be EXTRA sure, you may take a pregnancy test once your period is late.
Good Luck and good job being extra cautious and protecting yourself!
