I take it you've already updated to Android version 8.0?
there are lots of threads on this very subject on these forums but basically this version of Android for the Note 8 does not support individual text tones for different contacts.
To be able to do this you will have to install a 3rd party message app until Samsung decides to include an update to return this simple option to lots of annoyed Samsung mobile phone users!

Agree with above poster. It's a bit ridiculous they removed that feature. Anyway, I've been using Textra with great results.

Yes, ridiculous. I had to stick with the stock app as I fell in love with pinch to zoom. I have yet to find another text app that has pinch to zoom!
