I’d check the Messages notification sound first.
Go to Settings > Notifications > Messages > Sounds and make sure a tone is selected. Also check Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Text Tone and confirm it isn’t set to None.
If it’s only happening with certain conversations, open that conversation in Messages, tap the name at the top, and make sure Hide Alerts is off.
If all of that looks right, restart the iPhone once more and test with Focus turned off.
