The "tablename::regclass" bit is guaranteed to fail for any relation
that's not in your current search_path, because you're just handing
an unqualified name to the regclass converter.

If you're absolutely intent on using the pg_tables view here, you
could do this instead:
        (quote_ident(schemaname) || '.' || quote_ident(tablename))::regclass

Frankly though this seems like quite the hard way.  Why not just

select relname, pg_size_pretty(pg_table_size(oid)) from pg_class
where relkind = 'r'
order by relname;
