Org determines what headline the text is associated with based upon 
indentation (see example below). If you simply press enter after a list 
item, the text is not indented, and thus it is not associated with any 
list item. If you press tab before entering any text, it will indent to 
the level of the most recent list item. In order to have text associated 
with a higher level list item, you have to manually delete spaces after 
pressing tab or just manually insert the appropriate number of spaces.

Example:

1. List item
- Lower level list item
This text is not associated with any list. Any list items after this 
will form a new list.
1. New list item 1
- Lower level list item
This text is associated with lower level list item
2. New list item 2
- Lower level list item 2
This text is associated with 'New list item 2'

Hope this helps,
All best,
Leonard
