The Balrog may have been attracted by the presence of the Ring. As seen with the Watcher in the Water the Ring had the tendency to draw evil creatures to it. And there is also the matter of foolish Tooks tossing stones into deep wells. Who knows what elese was disturbed by Pippin's stone? It certainly wasn't just Orcs, as Gandalf found out on the Bridge of Khazad-dum.
