Since you need to add the class to the span, you can use parent to access the span from the radio button. To remove the class from the other span elements, just remove it from all which have the class in question before adding the class to the span that was just selected:

$("input[type='radio']").change(function() {
   if(this.checked) {
      $('span.line').removeClass('line');
      $(this).parent().addClass('line');
   }
});

Here's a working example.

Note the use of this.checked instead of the jQuery version you had. It is much faster to use the native DOM property where possible.

$("input[type='radio']").change(function() {
    console.log(this.checked)
    if (this.checked) {
        // remove previously added line class
        $('span.line').removeClass('line');
        // you should add class to span, because text is
        // within span tag, not in input
        $(this).parent().addClass('line');
    }
});
