In terms of meaning no- the phrase 听不进去 carries the same meaning.

There is a slight difference in terms of the 没 and 不. In this case the 不 construction indicates a bit more of a, it is happening now type of feeling. "Why are you not listening to me?" The 没 is a completed event. "He didn't listen to a word I said."

Note: those are not intended to be translations but are for demonstration purposes only.

I hope that answers your question.

the first sentence is said to a third person about another one's stubbornness.

the second one is talked to the person involved directly as a complaint.

我白说了半天,他一句也没听进去

To make a statement, to show indifference to the guy who fails to listen and any possible negative results inflicted on him. Possible schadenfreude mentality.

我的话你怎么就是听不进去

To make a minor complaint, to urge the guy to listen, to empathize with the guy the possible negative results that might be inflicted on him.

I think that in the two quotes, "not listen to me" means the same thing, i.e., "not take my opinion seriously". But the tense is different. The first is past tense and the latter, present. In terms of the tone, the latter is more of a complaint and stronger in emotion. The former could be a statement, relating something that the speaker could not do much about.
