IB has the only direct flights and cant imagine you having much luck with ow fares with them.
One option is EasyJet up to Paris ORY and then to MAD. They have only one flight a day to MAD so you want to allow plenty of time, at least 3 hours in ORY, especially if you have checked bags.
Virgin Express offers a bad connection through BRU which takes the whole day from 9.20am arriving 7.50 pm and costs as little as 95 euros.
German Wings with flights through CGN has a pretty good connection but like most LCCs you have to buy two tickets and have to recheck any bags. Around 100 euros + as well.
If you get to CDG.. Aerolineas Argentinas offers low ow fares to MAD with their 18.20 flight.
