Try rebooting your iPhone and then have someone send you a text/iMessage. Go back to Settings - General - Accessibility and make sure that the toggle button is enabled next to "LED Flash for Alerts".

Have you got "Allow Notifications" turned on for what you want the alert for?

I'm having the same issue. Tried what's been suggested. Only difference is I still have the 5S.

The LED alert may only flash when the phone is asleep. And some are reporting that it only works with their iP 6 if "Show on lock screen" is toggled on. IDK?

That was it. Turned on "show on lock screen" and the LED flashed.
