Graeme Smith, who retired recently, had scored 27 Test centuries in his career and none of those resulted in his team's defeat. This is the most number of centuries in a player's career with none of them resulting in the team's defeat. Smith's 18 centuries resulted in wins and 9 in draws.
Below is the list of all the players who scored 5 or more centuries in their Test career and none of those were in the losing cause for their teams.
AH Jones (7) and B Sutcliffes (5) centuries were all in draws. Infact, New Zealand never won any of the 42 matches played by B Sutcliffe.
