React JS : grandparent component's setState method doesn't update state of a grandchild input field onChange event click

Question

In the same code, I was able to the get the grandparent component's setState method to update accordingly for an onClick event from the grandchild component, however, for the onChange event, it is failing. I am not getting any errors.

class GrandChild extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
  }
  changeNumber=()=> {
    this.props.changeNumber();//call child method
  }

   handleChange(e) {
     this.props.onChange(e.target.value);
  }
  render() {
    const data = this.props.data;
    return(
      <div>
        <h1>The number is {this.props.number}</h1>
        <input type="text" value = {data} onChange={this.handleChange} />
        <button onClick={this.changeNumber}>Increase number by 1</button>
      </div>
    )
  }
}

class Child extends React.Component {

  render() {
    return(
      <div>
        <GrandChild number={this.props.number} changeNumber={this.props.changeNumber} value={this.props.data} onChange={this.props.handleChange}/>
      </div>
    )
  }
}

class App extends React.Component {
  constructor() {
    super()
    this.state = {
      number: 1,
      data: ""
    }
    this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
  }
    handleChange(data) {
    this.setState({data:this.state.data});
      console.log(data);
  }  
  changeNumber=()=>{


    this.setState((prevState)=>{
      console.log(prevState,this.state.data);
      return {
        number :  prevState.number + 1
      }
    });
  }
  render() {
    const data = this.state.data;
    const input = data;
    return (
      <Child number={this.state.number} 
             changeNumber = {this.changeNumber} 
             data={input} 
             onChange = {this.handleChange}
      />
    );
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

Console Result: Object { data: "", number: 1 } ""
