Text and emal alerts from lock screen

For some reason my text and email alerts stopped working while my phone is locked. How do I re-enable these sounds? I can't figure out what I did to make them go away in the first place.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.4

Make sure that your volume and ring tone are set to a high volume, and make sure that your notification sounds are not muted (there is a button near the volume controls, make sure it is not orange). Then, open the Settings app and go to Notifications. You should be able to enable sounds from specific apps from there.

That button that Oynix is referring to is called "Do not disturb" it will do exactly what you are describing it has done.

When I text or have notifications or when I have my lock screen sleep and when I have it open. I can't hear the sound of my phone but I can only hear my phone ringing and the FaceTime sound. How can I get my sounds back so I can hear my text messages and the notification?
