Ralph didn't directly kill Simon, but he didn't stop Jack from doing it.
Simon is different because he is the purest character on the island. As he represents a Christ figure. He also proves to be the smartest boy on the island (aside from Piggy) as he is the first and only boy to find and understand what The Beast and The Lord Of the Flies is. Although Ralph is a good character as well the 2 boys (ralph and simon) have 2 different personalities and different goodness within them. The difference between Jack and Simon, in simple, is Jack represnts the devil and voilence and Simon represents a pure Christ figure
Simon was a pure, good-hearted character who just wanted to help others. He was brave, and passionate. He was the "Christ Figure" in Lord of the Flies. But he was murdered.
Ralph's character in Lord of the Flies is defined by his leadership in diplomatic nature. While he is seen as charismatic and attractive, Simon is more frail and meek. Simon's characters also more of a visionary and expresses a level of knowledge about the nature of people that Ralph lacks.
