A lie needs to be intentional. If they meant to fulfill the promise, it wasn't a lie.
What if they intended to fulfill the promise but never actually did? Does that not make it a lie all the same?
I don't think so. That would make it a mistake. Just like if I made a claim that I believed true but wasn't.
