Pull in some more info. Ready for the archive.

Dec 7, 2016 at 16:01 comment added anonymous One has $\beta(B_{\ell^p}) = 2^{1/p}$ for $1 \le p < \infty$. Thus, $\lim_{p \to \infty} \beta(B_{\ell^p}) = 1$, but $\beta(B_{\ell^\infty}) = 2$.

We're only interested in infinite-dimensional spaces here.
Dec 7, 2016 at 15:46 comment added anonymous @Dirk It is shown in the article by Elton and Odell which Bill Johnson has just mentioned (available e.g. from eudml.org/doc/266720) that $\beta(B_X)$ is always strictly greater than 1.

Dec 7, 2016 at 15:26 comment added Dirk Oh, interesting. Another notion of "roundness" is the modulus of convexity.

Dec 7, 2016 at 15:07 comment added anonymous @Dirk I'm not actually sure if such spaces exist. I've now added examples that show $\beta(B_X) = 2$ also for $\ell^1$ and $L^1[0,1]$. Maybe $\sqrt 2$ is actually the minimal value for $\beta(B_X)$.

Add a note about $c_0$.
Dec 7, 2016 at 14:10 comment added Dirk I have no idea, but out of curiosity: What are examples of $\beta(B_X) = 1$? I suspect that their unit balls are not round, either.
