iPhone message alerts not chiming intermittently

iPhone air message alerts not chiming and some times they do. More often they don’t. I’ve had this phone about a week now. Is there a fix to it? Or an update to the iOS coming?

Do you wear Apple Watch? If yes, alerts for messages will come to your iPhone if it is unlocked or your watch if your phone is locked. They will not come to both at the same time. Read this is you own Apple Watch --> https://support.apple.com/en-us/108369
