Don't use an A record for your root domain. Heroku doesn't provide static IP addresses, so whatever value you put there won't be valid for long.

Since you're using CloudFlare you should be able to set up a CNAME for your apex domain just like you did for your www subdomain. CloudFlare has a feature called CNAME flattening that should make a CNAME on your root domain work as expected.

Regarding your comment that the www subdomain started working, that's typical of DNS changes. They take time to propagate. Give it some time.
