Notifications for text message notifications from random contacts silenced in iPhone
my iPhone silences my text message notifications for random contacts. What is this?

It isn't your phone silencing their notifications, it is the other person's Focus mode. Focuses are things like Do Not Disturb...
If you see someone has notifications silenced but you need them to see the message urgently, you can click "Notify Anyway" (this only works if the contact has enabled this feature)
