Read receipts not working

So I had my read receipts on with a specific person and they were working just fine then out of nowhere they stopped getting the notification that I read their messages even though it was still turned on. I have reset my phone, restarted it, toggled it on and off but nothing seems to be working. It works for everyone else except that person, how do I fix it?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 12.0.1

So what finally worked for me is turning off read receipts, Sign out of iMessage (actually signing out your Apple ID), resetting the network settings, reboot, turn on iMessage (sign in again) and turn on read receipts.
