MacBook Pro is not going into sleep mode

I am having trouble getting my MacBook Pro to go into sleep mode. I have checked my Activity Monitor and nothing is showing that says it is preventing sleep. Please help.

Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.

Your 90 days of complimentary telephone support begins on the date of purchase.
