I don't know about sleep, but for hibernation, do you have enough swap space to store a copy of your physical memory? If you don't, that's the behavior I've seen; there'll be some system log message, can't remember if kernel or userspace, about not having enough space to hibernate.
Easy way to test if you think that might be it is to add a page file (rather than page partition, so you don't have to repartition) to your swap space, activate it with
swapon
, and then try re-running a hibernation.I do have swap space that is larger than my physical memory.
