First, make sure your phone isn't on silent: Use Silent mode on iPhone - Apple Support

If you have a Focus mode on, it might be silencing the notifications: Use Focus modes on iPhone - Apple Support

If you're still not getting notification sounds, open Settings > Notifications > Messages and make sure 'Sounds' isn't set to 'None'.
