Ketones won't under go hydrolysis. You're right that all carboxylic acid derivatives can undergo hydrolysis. This is because carboxylic acid derivatives are synthesized through a dehydration reaction with another compound. The reverse reaction (hydrolysis) converts the derivative back into a carboxylic acid. Carboxylic acids won't undergo hydrolysis because if you hydrolyze a carboxylic acid, you get the same carboxylic acid.
