Often ping is disabled on gateways to prevent DoS attacks. If you need to
ping it for monitoring purposes you might be able to get the admin to
whitelist the IP from which you're attempting the ping.

Yeah, some gateways do not respond to a ping.
Do you get an IP Address? A Route?
Try ping (or better yet, mtr) to 8.8.8.8
