why does only 1 contact (not iphone/android) not have a text message tone on my iphone 5

One of my contacts has a non "smart" phone and only that contact has no text message tone, all others have a tone when a text message is received from them. I have checked general settings and the settins for the actual contact and there is a tone set but nothing happens, only a number appears on the screen.

Any ideas. I can't believe it's because it's not a smart phone.
