Yup, I found out something not so good. When you set a custom notification tone for any app in the Notifications & actions settings, only that tone is used for all notifications from that app.
In your case, if you select any tone other than "default" in the Notifications & actions settings > Messaging, you'll hear that very tone for all your SMS notifications no matter what text ringtone you have assigned to your contacts. And if you set "default" as the notification tone then you'll hear the custom ringtones you have assigned to your contacts plus a
default tone* for all other contacts' and stray SMSs.
*default tone - you cannot change it
PS:- I just tested it with Phone app. Custom tones work for it. I guess the issue is unique to Messaging.
