I am not sure on what you want to achieve, but does this look better?

\starttext
\placefigure
[left][fig:ordpair]
{}{\externalfigure[section1figs-mpgraph.1]}
We use the notation $(2,4)$ to denote what is called an {\em ordered
   pair}. If you think of the positions taken by
  ordered pairs $(4,2)$ and $(2,4)$ in the coordinate plane
  (see \in{Figure}[fig:ordpair]), then it is immediately apparent why
  order is important. The ordered pair $(4,2)$ is simply not the same
as
  the ordered pair $(2,4)$.
