This indicates the issue is with your config.

I suspect it can be from theme.

Are you sure there is no config editing org-level-* faces somewhere?

Also do note height work as an increment from inherited value. It does
override. So according to this config org-level-2 height will be 1.4x
times that of org-level-1.

I assume you are calling it interactively (via M-x), this gets
completing-read and allows you to select. Maybe you got only org-level-1
and selectec it?

Try this,

(set-face-attribute 'org-level-1 nil :height 1.5 :foreground "#b4befe")
(set-face-attribute 'org-level-2 nil :height 1.4 :foreground "#f5deb5")

Again, if it works in emacs -Q or vanilla org-mode. You need to debug
your init and theme.
