iOS 7 not alerting me when I have a text message

When i get text messages and I'm using my phone it doesn't alert me even when I went to the notification center and put it as alert. This has only happened with iOS 7 not with the previous update.

iPhone 4, iOS 7

For me, the solution was that the "do not disturb" was turned on for a specific person. Of course it was the person I texted the most! It turns out there was a half moon by that specific person's name in the messaging app which I didn't notice at first. My solution: messaging app --> find person with half moon by name and select them --> press little i with a circle around it in top right --> undo do not disturb.
