Number of Text Messages Not Appearing on Icon

As of a few days ago, the number text messages stopped appearing on the iMessage app; I receive notifications when the phone is asleep and while I'm on another app (or the home screen).


I didn't mess with any of the notification settings and have tried restarting my phone a few times. Has anyone else seen this happen? If so, how do I resolve?

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1

So, please make this clear...... Notifications appear while in apps and stuff but the number doesn't appear above the messages?
