Try:

\relative c'' {
  \once \override TupletNumber.avoid-slur = #'ignore
  \tuplet 3/2 { c,2( b'4) } r2
  c,4( b') r2
}

LilyPond will usually try to place the slur outside of a tuplet number, but in certain cases (like this one) the output is nicer when avoid-slur is set to ignore.

Also, have a look at \shape: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/modifying-shapes.en.html
I just noticed that this is not documented in the German version …
