That depends on the pounds per cubic feet (PCF) of the the sands. Sand will vary from one place to another.
Assuming 106.5 pcf, 1 cubic yards (27 cubic feet) would be 1.44 tons, but 2 tons would be the 2 tons recommended order for safety's sake. A like to a sand calulator is attached.

1 and half tons
One cubic metre of concrete weighs 2.5 Tonnes. Typically, 1m3 of concrete is made up of 350Kg of cement, 700Kg of sand, 1,200Kg of chippings and 150 Litres of water. http://www.planete-tp.com/en/article.php3?id_article=221

To make 1 cubic meter of concrete, you typically need about 1.5 cubic meters of sand and gravel combined. The general ratio for mixing concrete is 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, and 3 parts gravel. Therefore, for 1 cubic meter of concrete, you would need 0.5 cubic meters of cement, 0.75 cubic meters of sand, and 0.75 cubic meters of gravel.
