Same thing here. I miss half of my messages until I hit the home button and there they are. Of course it works every time I create a test.
Also my battery has tanked over the last week. It's not a gradual thing. I take it off charge in the morning at 100% and before I leave the house with no activity it's in the 80s.
I'm still under Applecare+ for a few weeks. Think they will do anything?
I'm having the same issue and its driving me crazy as friends think you are avoiding them or not taking their texts. I have tried several different alert sounds and the same thing happens.
(I found solution on another discussion):-
This worked for my Iphone 4
Firstly make sure your mute isn't on (the top left slide should NOT show red) Then go to:-
Settings
General
Accessibility (go down under PHYSICAL & MOTOR)
Assistive touch - switch On.
Click on this assistive touch which should now appear on your screen (it's a faded square with a white circle icon button)
Now, select DEVICE and make sure the bell has a line through it (it should say Mute with a line through the bell).
PS. My iphone on the side is showing mute not on (no red), using the assistive touch ( the white button that appears on your home screen, go to DEVICE and switch the mute key to the opposite... that is on my phone showing the MUTE as on (bell with cross through it, opposite to phone), my phone now rings.
Hope this works for you like it worked for me!!
There are a few things you should try.

Thank you Motherchook! That worked for me too. cheers!!
Tried all of the things mentioned with no luck . I have had this problem before and the fixes worked.
Purely by accident I did notice that my "DO NOT DISTURB" switch was off in the settings menu. Switched it back on "et voilá"
