Mixed type charts are supported by Chart 2.x versions. You can create config like following :-

var config = {
  type: 'bar',
  data: {
    labels: ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July"],
    datasets: [{
      type: 'bar',
      label: "My First dataset",
      data: [65, 0, 80, 81, 56, 85, 40],
      fill: false
    },{
        type: 'line',
      label: "My Second dataset",
      data: [80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80],
      fill: false,
      borderColor: 'red',
      pointStyle: 'line',
      pointBorderWidth: 3
    }]    
  }
};
