IB are under no obligation to you if you miss your MAD-LIS flight.
In practice, however, they will probably put you on the next flight since the misconnect would be due to the late-coming inbound on IB.
2.5 hours ought to be fine for the connection though, although you might struggle to get the ground staff in ORD to through-check any luggage through to LIS.
