You can't think like that. Myer created the Twilight universe and it's really not up to us to decide something. Usually, a vampire can kill a single shapeshifter, that's one of the reason they hunt in packs. The shapeshifters have become adept at killing vampires over the years because knowledge and skills are automatically handed down from father to son. Even Harry Clearwater and Billy Black "knew" and were born with the knowledge to fight vampires, but the gene that would have caused them to phase was never activated (due to a lack of vampires in the area). It's this skill that helps them kill vampires. Vampires are immortal, however the shapeshfters are mortal and made of flesh and blood. A lone vampire should easily kill one shapeshifter. The shapeshifter has only one thing that can destroy a vampire, and that's his teeth. The rest of him is vulnerable, albeit much stronger than the normal human. But the inherited knowledge base that a shapeshifter inherits puts him on a bit more even playing field as a vampire. Especially since most vampires are /were ingnorant about shapeshifters. A female vampire would be plenty strong to kill a shapeshifter. The Uley pack always tried to kill Victoria as a unit, not solitary. The vampires in Twilight are just too difficult to destroy. It's not something that I like, but I accept it since it is all Myer's theory.
