You can set a Text Tone here:
Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Text Tone
Also check if Hide Alerts have been activated for one or more of your SMS conversations. Look for a small "crossed out bell". out of the conversations. You deactivate Hide Alerts by swiping from left to right on the conversation in the overview and tapping the purple bell.

An additional thing to check is the mute switch over the volume buttons.
