MacBook does not sleep when closed

I have a Late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro running Mavericks. Sometimes when I close the lid, it does not sleep or turn off the display, even after the set time in Energy Saver preferences. My main concern is that I have my security settings set to lock my computer 5 seconds after sleep/turning off the display, and this does not happen, as it does not go to sleep. The only way I notice is that when I open the computer some time later, the screen is already on and it is not locked. There are no periphials connected when this happens.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Also, After a lot of testing on the mother board i found that if you have a faulty battery indicator, or if the battery indicator plug on the mother board is not connected or has come undone, your apple and screen will not go to sleep when closed. this is the plug next to the battery connector on the mother board.
