Perhaps when you removed your a tag you also remove the nested the_title(); function?
the_title(); is the WordPress function which spits out the plain text post/page title so having that in your h1 like below should get you the results you’re expecting. Of course there may also be some CSS which is affected due to the removal of your <a> tag
<h1 class="post-title <?php echo $titleClass; ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</h1>
