It must have changed since you last looked at it.  A certain well-known 
financial application from a certain well-known vendor will (for reasons 
that I can not fathom) cancel any attempt to sleep or hiberate; you are 
required to exit the application first.

Also, laptop lid close is a software controllable event, and it can be set 
in the OS to be "ignore completely".
