Hi there mikeyree,
If you are not getting sound notifications for incoming messages and everything is set up correctly in Settings, check your Do Not Disturb and Focus settings next because this can be responsible for behavior like this. This article shows how to check: Use Do Not Disturb with Focus on your iPhone or iPad
Also, if you are using an iPhone X or later, Attention Aware features may also cause this to occur. You can check these settings using this: Turn Attention Aware features on or off on your iPhone or iPad Pro
If this continues after looking over those, ensure your iPhone is fully updated next. This installs feature improvements and fixes that can resolve unexpected issues like this. Back up and update your iPhone using the steps here: Update your iPhone or iPad
Cheers!
