You said, 'WIMPS such as Neutralinos'... But I thought WIMPs are a type of Neutralino?  Not the other way around??

@KurtHikes Neutralinos are weakly interacting massive particles (since they are just the super symmetrical cousin of neutrinos), not the other way around because not all WIMPS are neutralinos. Hope this answers your question!

Why are WIMP dark matter particles, if Majorana-like, expected to annihilate upon contact? But not neutrinos?

Gluons actually annihilate, so do neutrinos, just more rarely than Neutralinos.

Neutrinos, Gluons, WIMPS, Majorana particles are always neutral being a Truly Neutral Particle. These Majorana particles don't require electromagnetism, and Maxwell's field, these particles carry a different kind of charge, Lepton Number. C Reversal can also refer to the Lepton number, than electromagnetic charge since Neutrinos are the same lepton family as electrons, and so is it's sparticle. The neutrinos νi are the Dirac particles that have the lepton number L = 1. The lepton number of the antineutrinos ν ¯ i is equal to −1, same applies for it's sparticle, and that's why electromagnetism does not matter in this case.

Gluons are subject to only 1 force: The strong force, and this is the strongest force out there, but it occurs at short distances.
Neutrinos, however, interact via two forces: Gravitation and the weak force, so this means they are subject to both Einstien Metric tensor and Yang Mills field.

WIMPS such as Neutralino which are also truely neutral Majorana fermions also interact in a similar manner to neutrinos (Sparticle of Neutrino), except the mass of Neutralino found in dark star is an order of magnitude greater than neutrino, Neutrinos are the lightest particle, and Neutralino are much more massive. So in a Feymann diagram where the distance between the vertices, Neutralinos are more likely to meet and annihilate given that the gravitation force is much more greater than neutrinos.

For example, here is a loop Feymann diagram referring to Gluon annihilation (I picked up this diagram from another answer):
