Are you sure it is not going to sleep? Have you tried to wait a little bit? Sometimes it just takes a while for the MacBook to go to sleep, since it has to save the current state and all.

Also... you shouldn't open and close it while it is in the process of going to sleep... that can cause it to lock up and prevent it from sleeping. There may be a buggy process running that might be preventing it from sleeping as well.

You might try resetting the SMC as well:
