everything is frozen until the number is entered. Is there a way that I
can still wait for the user's answer and allow task_2 to go ahead?

Most implementations of Ada 95 should at least have the option of
overlapping computation with waiting for keyboard input. This is
certainly implementation dependent, and for example, something like
the old obsolete DOS version of GNAT does not provide concurrency
at the OS level (because DOS does not!)
You need to tell people exactly what system you are using, what machine,
what operating system etc.
