"Why are ion-dipole forces stronger than hydrogen bonding?"?
Answer:
One obvious reason is that hydrogen bonding only involves partial charges while ion-dipole force involves a fully charged ion plus partial charge of the molecule with a dipole. Although H bond is strong (since H is attracted to a highly electronegative atom), ion-dipole is stronger since there is somewhat an electron sharing happening between the ion (full charge) and the dipole.
