It would appear from the Book of Jasher that Shem was not at the tower of Babel. He lived with Noah for the rest of Noah's life away from the pagan idol worship of the day. Abraham lived with them a number of years to learn the one true and living God and the correct ways to worship Him. Book of Jasher Ch.9

Why was the tower of babel built?
The Tower of Babel was built because the descendants of Shem, Ham and Japeth wanted to make a name for themselves. They also didn't want to be split apart into the world
How many generations are there between Noah and his sons and the tower of Babel?
Really what your probably interested in is the generations in the Jewish line, right? Most of these other guys go off to form their own nations. Many associate Japheth's europeans, Ham's with Asian and African peoples, and Shem with Middle easterners. So we'll follow Shem in Gen 10. 1. Shem 2. Arpachshad. 3. Shelah 4. Eber (Where we get "Hebrew") 5. Joktan 6. (who has 13 boys). It is at this point that it switches into the story of the tower of babel. The rest of Gen. 11 looks at the geneology of Shem too except this time it follows the other son of Eber: Peleg. This might be because Joktan's kids played a big part in the tower. It mentions that they are living in the east and the plain of shinar where the tower of babel was is in the east. Who knows? But to answer your original question, my best guess is 6 generations between Noah and the tower of Babel.
