Folding is specific to each filetype, or at least each lexer. This is
part of Scintilla. If you want more folding you could try filing a
feature request at scintilla.org. You can also try using SciTE to see
if folding works better there in case there's a configuration issue,
but for Tex I think folding isn't implemented.

(Relevant source file is scintilla/LexOthers.cxx.)
