A workaround is to explicitly add a new line to your title by using '\n'. This approach will add a blank line between the graph and the title. Refer to the following example.
plot((1:100).^2);
title('My Curve');
%Note the changes in this plot
plot((1:100).^2);
text = sprintf('My Curve\n');
title(text, 'Interpreter', 'latex');
