My text "ding" is not working although it "vibrates"

You may have your mute switch enabled. It is a physical switch on the left side of the phone above the volume buttons. If you see orange, the phone is muted.

Increase the Volume:

Increasing the iPone’s volume (unmuting it) may obviously do the job. So, try that.

Shut Down the Re-power your iPhone:

On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Tap: Shutdown. Then turn your iPhone back on by use of then power button, or plugging it in to charge it.

Verify the “bing”:

Have someone text you to see if you get the “ding” once a text is received.

Elsewise:

Where Sounds are Controlled:

Sounds for Builtin apps are controlled in Sounds, where as sounds for Apps you install are controlled in Notifications

Check for Notifications:

Swipe your finger down from where the clock is, atop the screen, then swipe your Finder left or right,

Using the Charging Cord:

When plugged in, the phone might vibrate every time it’s plugged in. So, if it is loose, then it’s jagging and vibrating coincidently to every muted call. So, purchase a new charging cord and wall adapter (if needed),

You should check the Settings app and press "Notifications". There you can customize the notification sounds and vibrations in each apps. If the settings seems to be okay but the Phone does not work well, you should try a restart.
