Ansible --become not working when “sudo with NOPASSWD” is not activated on remote machine - MODULE FAILURE

In remote server, normal user is having sudo access but NOPASSWD not activated. sudo su - command ask for user password. I am trying to run a command using Ansible as providing sudo password but its not working getting "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error" error. Please check below logs.

Inventory file

[root@**-*****2 ~]# cat inventory
[prod]
10.***.***.250 ansible_user=m**** ansible_password=*******

Its working with normal user

[root@****** ~]# ansible prod -m ping
10.***.***.250 | SUCCESS => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python"
    },
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}

But when i switch to become

[root@****** ~]# ansible prod -m ping --become
10.***.***.250 | FAILED! => {
    "msg": "Missing sudo password"
}

when i provide Sudo Password.

[root@****** ~]# ansible prod -m ping --become -K
BECOME password:
10.***.***.250 | FAILED! => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python"
    },
    "changed": false,
    "module_stderr": "Shared connection to 10.***.***.250 closed.\r\n",
    "module_stdout": "\r\n",
    "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error",
    "rc": 1
}

the verbose output of above error is

10.***.***.250 | FAILED! => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python"
    },
    "changed": false,

It is working where sudo with NOPASSWD activated. Kindly suggest.
