Did you set up a firewall when first configuring your droplet?
You can disable your droplet’s ufw firewall with:
service ufw stop
Since this droplet was working with a load balancer previously it was allowing HTTP connections from the load balancer. Since deleting a load balancer doesn’t directly change anything in the droplet it’s pointed to my guess is that a firewall on your droplet is configured only to allow connections coming through the LB.
