Try resetting the SMC as described in this OSX Daily document: When and How to Reset Mac SMC (System Management Controller)

Reset SMC of a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro Retina, or MacBook Pro’s with an internal non-removable battery
This is how to reset SMC on most modern Mac laptops, none of which have a removable battery:
Shutdown your MacBook Air / MacBook Pro
Connect the power adapter to the Mac

Boot your Mac as usual
Here’s the key sequence to hold down:
