You need to override Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Type Model class.

In this call there is function static public function getOptionArray(). Just update this function.

Follow below instruction:

Create new file under app\etc\modules\Namespace_producttype.xml

<Namespace_Producttype>
        <active>true</active>
        <codePool>local</codePool>
    </Namespace_Producttype>

Create new file under app\code\local\Namespace\Producttype\etc\config.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Namespace_Producttype>
            <version>1.6.1.1</version>
        </Namespace_Producttype>
    </modules>
    <global>
       <models>
            <catalog>
                <rewrite>
                    <product_type>Namespace_Producttype_Model_Product_Type</product_type>
                </rewrite>
            </catalog>            
       </models>
    </global>       
</config>

Last file to override Model function. app\code\local\Namespace\Producttype\Model\Product\Type.php

<<?php
class Namespace_Producttype_Model_Product_Type extends Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Type
{
    static public function getOptionArray()
    {
        $options = array();
        foreach(self::getTypes() as $typeId=>$type) {

            if($typeId == 'simple' || $typeId == 'grouped'):
                $options[$typeId] = Mage::helper('catalog')->__($type['label']);
            endif;

        }

        return $options;
    }
}
?>

Hope this will help!
