You didn't mention what iPhone or what OS you're using, so my suggestion would be to check settings and turn messages off then on again.

If the issue continues then sign then back in with your Apple ID and password.

Last step if those fail would be to contact Apple directly, best thing would be to go to to the Apple store near you if possible.

In addition, check with your wireless carrier to see if they're having problems with their network or if there's a problem with your account.
