I think you're better of using AUCTeX, which has built-in support for
syntax-highlighting in listings environment (and many other features).

Get it from here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/

As for vanilla tex-mode, this should partially work (it works for the
text after the `$', but not the `$' itself):

(font-lock-remove-keywords nil ''("\\$\\$\\([^$]+\\)\\$\\$" 1 tex-math-face))
(font-lock-remove-keywords nil ''("\\$\\$\\([^$]+\\)\\$\\$" (1 tex-math-face)))

I got this information by looking at the value of `font-lock-keywords'
(using C-h v). Also see the documentation of `font-lock-remove-keywords'
(using C-h f) for other options.
