Check there is enough space in iCloud for the backup by going to Settings->Account (top of settings)->iCloud->Manage Storage->Backups->iPad Name->Next Backup Size.


If there is not enough space for the backup, either delete content from iCloud in the Manage Storage section to make room, or backup the iPad to a computer instead.
