Is it acutally suspending (sleeping) ok? Usually the power led flashes
when suspended.  Assuming it is suspending then go to System Settings

when waking from suspend".

If it is not actually suspending then have a look in System Settings >
Power and make sure you have Suspend as the option for when you close
the lid.
