ulimit is a shell builtin on some OSes and in that case - you can't use shell builtins via sudo as far as I know.
If it is an option for you, you might want to change your limits permanent for some user via editing /etc/security/limits.conf or whatever file it is on your OS. Don't forget to relog to make changes for that user/shell active.
