Lojban has a rather low number of phonemes, so there is no function mapping
IPA to lojban. Also, the optimization problem for approximating sounds that
Lojban doesn't have is in the general case ill-posed. Specific examples
such as theta/thorn can be solved, but getting a general mapping from IPA
to Lojban isn't going to happen. Nor is it going to happen with IPA to
English, which has many more phonemes.
