VIP email alert

VIP email alert not consistently working on iPhone 14 Pro Max running 16.1.2. I have my device configured to provide an audible alert when I receive an email from a contact marked as a VIP, I am using the native email app. I don't receive this alert on a consistent basis. I have received the VIP alert when the phone is locked and unlocked. I have tried multiple troubleshooting steps including removing the account and resetting the network settings.
