This looks like the media scanner messed up its database. I recommend to:

  1. clear the media storage (see the middle of this page for details with screenshots):
    1. go to Settings › Apps › All
    2. find "Media Storage" and tap the entry once to open the app details
    3. chose "clear data" (to empty the media scanner's database)
  2. reboot

On device startup, the media scannermedia scanner will be triggered to run, and should – this time cleanly – build up it's database.

Note: If you've customized ringtones/notification/alarm sounds, you might need to redo that afterwards as the association might be lost.²


² Applications identify those sounds by an ID, not by directory and file name. With the new buildup database, those IDs no longer match.
