By default AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) ports are protected by Application Layer firewall called Security Group (you specified this setting prior launching the Instance).
In the Security Group by default there are no default ingress ports open like icmp ports that respond to ping. Having said that you would like to check your EC2 Instance security group and look for InBound Rule "ICMP" port make sure that it's accepting traffic from your public IP address that initiate the ping.
