Got a text notification but text isn't actually there?

Ok so yesterday at like 3 I got a text message notif on my lock screen from a guy. So when I went to the actual text app it wasn't there. Is there a way I can see the number through the provider so I can text back? I know it's my phone it glitches up like that a lot. I have an iPhone 6s under Verizon.
