when i close my laptop the external display also goes off

I have sought advice online and when I close my MacBook Pro my external screen goes off. I have attempted to wake the device with keyboard and mouse but it states that it cannot find a devices signal on the external display. I am using an genuine apple USB-C to VGA which is connected to a dell screen. The external display does work but ONLY when the MacBook is open. Please can you assist?
