Under what application you execute alter command? Are there possible that you not see errors, appeared during alter command? See the alert.log - in this file must be logged when alter datafile starts, and when ends. Also write errors appeared.

I have a couple os possible explanations.
1) Your flavor of unix may not support files larger than 2GB.
2) Try "resize 4096M" instead of 4g

have you asked you sysadmin what the max size of a datafile is on your OS? Have you tried increasing the size by a smaller amount?
