There is no reason to get a business undergraduate (BSBA) if you want to go later on an earn an MBA. It might be helpful if you were 22, had no real work experience and just graduated with a bachelor degree and wanted to go straight through - but if you have even a few years work experience (and all jobs are in some type of business) it makes no practical difference.
Many people who don't have a business based bachelor go the MBA route specifically to obtain the business based credentials there later careers require. In many fields a better suited bachelor/MBA would look better than business, business, business (not well rounded education). If you have a specific school MBA in mind it does help to take any prerequisites while earning your bachelors (eg; statistics or economics are popular prerequisites - both subjects that fit well into gen eds/lib arts).
The shear number of quality MBA programs makes it relativity easy with any bachelor to pursue that degree path; getting into a top/ivy school program isn't most people's objective - they just want a quality program at an affordable cost. I'm not anti-BSBA to MBA route; it works for some, but it is far from being the best. I even started out on the MBA path (I've already dropped out of 3 MBA programs, and accepted to all I applied - no trouble getting in with my Big3 degree - I just found it so very boring, especially right after earning my BSBA. I have since found my perfect path with an MSDS). An important fact to remember is that most MBA candidates don't start until their about 28 and have 5 years of full-time work experience; this is not your typical right out of college group.
