While booted into Ubuntu run this command from Terminal:
grub-install -v
Then post the output so we know what version of grub you have.

Actually regardless you could just install "startupmanager":
sudo apt-get install startupmanager
You can then set the timeout in seconds there whether it's grub2 or legacy grub. It will be in System > Administration >
