Custom Message Tone for contact (e-mail text message)

I've read several issues/solutions regarding custom message tones, but none seem to exactly fit into my issue (that I've found).

I have set a custom message tone for an individual contact. It works fine if I get a text message directly from a phone number. However, if they send a message by e-mailing (from the e-mail address on that contact) to the {phonenumber}@messaging.sprintpcs.com address that texts my phone, it just uses the ringtone set as the default. I only want it set for an individual contact, so I get woken up for emergencies, but not any other contact so my phone doesn't wake me up for useless stuff...

This worked fine when I had a Galaxy S5, but I was recently upgraded to an S6 and I can't seem to get it to work.
