You may have notification sounds for text messages off, to fix that issue please follow these steps below.


Go to Settings > Notifications > Scroll down to Messages > then make sure sounds are on. and the box is checked green.


Also make sure your ringer is not off Silent, if it is the way you can tell is if on the left side of your iPhone the switch on the top is red and that means your ringer if off.
