How to make certain contact ring on silent iPhone

How can I get certain contacts to ring on my phone even when it's on silent? I did it before but can't remember how to do it now!

I found the answer and would like to share with all. You have to go to Contacts, pick your person, tap on the ring tone that you have assigned that person, and at the top of the screen press Emergency Bypass so that it is on. It's a great feature if you want to keep your phone on silent most of the time ( I have to at work) but still be able to get a call from someone you need to.
