The boiling and freezing points are like border lines between the states of matter. To cross that, the energy of the whole mass of the matter (for example a glass of water) requires to be equal to the required amount energy.
If you are heating the ice, all the ice will be required to melt to water before the temperature rises above 0 degree celcius (that is the melting point of water). If there is still ice in the container, the temperature won't rise more than 0 degree.
Because there is still ice in container, there is availability of space for heat to be stored. When ice is melted, there is no more space left for more heat to be stored. So eventually the temperature of the water requires to increase.
This capacity of ice (or matter) of storing heat has a special name called Specific Heat Capacity.
