That setting is only in effect when Do Not Disturb is turned on; if Do Not Disturb is off, it doesn't matter whether that setting is on or whether Always is selected.


Some other things to check:


The ring/silent switch on the left side of the phone. See: How to put your iPhone on vibrate, ring, or silent mode - Apple Support


Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers: Detect and block spam phone calls - Apple Support
