It sounds like you are not receiving messages from a particular contact in Messages. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting:
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Check your device settings
- Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network.
- Go to Settings > Messages and make sure that iMessage, Send as SMS, or MMS Messaging is turned on (whichever method you're trying to use). Learn about the different types of messages you can send.

Check the recipient's contact info
- Make sure that you're using the right phone number or email address.
- Go to Settings > Messages > Blocked and make sure that they're not on your block list.
Delete existing conversations
If you can't send messages to a certain recipient, delete any conversations you have with them and try sending a new message. When you delete a conversation, you won’t be able to recover it. Make sure that you take a screenshot or forward any messages that you want to keep.
Restart your device and check for updates
- Restart your device.
- Check for a carrier settings update.
- Check for an iOS software update.
Thanks for being a part of Apple Support Communities.
Kind Regards.
