Airpods and "in ear detection" with iPads

I have a newish pair of Airpods, the "in ear detection" works perfectly when used with my MacBook Air or my iPhone 8 but not with my iPad MC979B, anyone know why or have had the same problem??

iPad 2, iOS 9

Thank you for your quick and very helpful answer, I thought the intelligence lay within the AirPods themselves and the iPad was merely a transmitter obviously I was wrong but thinking about it how would the iPad know to 'pause' the music rather than to 'mute' it? A very helpful answer that solved my query.
