You don't understand. You need "execute" permissions on the file, you DON'T need to use sudo at all.

Also there is a space after chmod 755 (i.e. "chmod 755 vasilakos.Command").

If it can't find bibtex, then your PATH environment is not set correctly.
You need to make sure that /usr/texbin is in your path, so you might keep the terminal window open and type:
  export PATH=/usr/texbin:$PATH
and then copy/paste the contents of the .Command file directly into the SAME terminal window.
