She probably started her rocket jump before you started your ult. Rocket jump has an uncanceable cast time. So she cast jump, you ulted her, the animation finished and she landed too far away from you to be effective.

AP tristana falls off lategame. As malz, just stay under your tower and farm. Feel free to be very aggresive with your ult: she has 3 HP, so you can actually kill her before she kills you if you land your silence properly first; you don't even need her in her pool. Her early game farming is frigging crap, while you can already zone with your spells withought pushing your wave too much, so get an early advantage in CS. Rush rylai for the health pool, combined with a RoA you should be tanky enough to withstand her burst. Force the rocket jump and then just after ask for a gank: she HATES people who get in her face pre-level 6. MR helps: abyssal is really good on you as a mid-game item and helps a lot.
