I don't think that the 9th founding member is the only reason for which Ulbert hates Touch Me, though, they have conflicting background, mentalities and characters.

Japanese school system emphases on people becoming parts of society and not standing out (modern Japanese are nearly the opposite of what Japanese people used to be, especially those who actively partook in writting it's History... during the Sengoku jidai, samurai would wear in their armor's back not only flags but anything which could be useful to be easier noticed by their lords and foes, from Shakujô to small anchors... no kidding), it is to prepare them to be productive little ants, not to make them individuals, which is, btw, a leftist way of doing things (in general, Left will try to improve things for the whole group and thus improve things for individuals ; while the Right will have the opposite logic, uppgrade the individuals in order to improve society).

Ulbert is the kind who didn't fit in the system and in spite of his capacities, intellect and merit, was rejected by it for standing out... And you can be sure Touch Me, he, was at ease in the system.

To make a comparison with One Punch Man, Ulbert is like S class heroes prior to the invention of the S class : heroes who achieved outstanding results but were usually confined in B to D class for social or business issues, such as Watch Dog Man. Unlike Ulbert, Touch Me is explicitely stated to be a winner in life, not only he blent well in society but profit from it. Now, consider that the Japan of Overlord's setting is a dystopia... there are plenty reasons to be angry at Touch Me, even from a purely objective point of view : people with power, authority, are not changing society even when they know they should.

Another comparison, with India this time, would be Touch Me born inside the cast of Brahmin or the warrior caste, while Ulbert would be born as an Outcast Parriah, but still with every attribute worthy of a prince or a famous high priest, and still shunned by the world.

There was only in YGGDRASIL tat Ulbert could shine, but he was still outdone by Touch Me. Even if he cannot blame him reasonably, especially considering Touch Me is friendly and not a total asshat (or asshelmet), it wouldn't be surprising if he still held a grudge against him.
