The Read Receipt feature turns OFF because the entire active thread of text is deleted. When a new thread starts then you have to turn ON read receipts for them.

You can turn ON Read Receipts for everyone if you like and that will stop turn the feature OFF as you have been experiencing.

Open Settings ➔ Messages ➔ Send Read Receipts : Set this to ON.
