How can I use WordPress' "the_title" filter just for the main title inside the Post Type?

I'm trying to change the title in WordPress:

function change_title_func($title) {
  if( in_the_loop() && !is_archive() ) { // Avoiding Menu Items
     return $title.'<span class="cls"></span>';
  }
}
add_filter('the_title', change_title_func(), 10, 2);

but the anchor's title attribute also gets changed and I don't want that. Example:

<a href="..." title="title<span class=" cls"="">"&gt;title<span class="cls"></span></a>

This hapens most likely because the same filter is used in both places. How can I skip this title attribute change since they use the same filter?

Note: I'm trying to do this inside a plugin I'm working on, so editing the child theme won't be an option.

You can't, that filter is used by the function [get_the_title][1], the filter only send 2 parameter the title and the post_id and this function is very used.

The best way to go is create a new function call it get_the_title_with_span and add your extra markup there, the change the get_the_title function for get_the_title_with_span where you want to add the extra markup.
