IMO it's not recommended to use the same symbol, "ls", left and right of the 
equals sign. I recommend to use the full pathname of the ls programme when this 
programme is meant.

Are all aliases from ~/.bashrc listed inside GNU Emacs?

Can you trace the execution of the ls alias?

Have you tried to use the more ANSI compliant "term" function/emulation?

It can be that you need to set up the *shell* buffer to actually show colours 
(*term* has it activated by default, by its more complete compliance to ANSI):

    (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook (lambda ()
        (ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)))

Check your GNU Emacs documentation on this topic!
