I have had this issue on my Mac Book Pro (MBP 5.1 mid 2009) running Mojave 10.14.6 (dosdude1 patch) several times and somehow solved using other methods. The newsest methood is by far the easiest! I have now solved it the same way i have solved issues with the computer not shutting down when initiating a shutdown.

I have had this issue on my Mac Book Pro (MBP 5.3 mid 2009) running Mojave 10.14.6 (dosdude1 patch) several times and somehow solved using other methods. The newsest methood is by far the easiest! I have now solved it the same way i have solved issues with the computer not shutting down when initiating a shutdown.
I noticed when in safe boot i was able to make the mac go to sleep without it shutting down, and by initiating the sleep mode through 3 possible ways it sort of “learned” and when booting up into my normal user account i had no issue anymore.
Steps:
# Turn off the computer
# Turn on again and enter safe boot (hold down “left shift” on bootup until you see apple logo)
# once you a logged in you can start by initiating sleep mode by pressing alt + cmd + eject (or power button on newer macs)
# It should go into sleep mode, now wake it up and close the lid to initiate sleep mode the second way. wait for the sleep to initiate! It can take quite some time (maybe over 1min). On my mac i can check that the led starts to “breathe” when it sleeps. On newer macs i am not sure how to check if it sleeps, other than listening for the fans to stop spin.
# lastly wait for the mac to enter sleep mode itself (check energy saver and set the timer to standard settings or some timing that is realistic for your patience)
Hopefully your mac went into sleep mode in all 3 scenarios inside safe boot. Now reboot and see if your mac wants to sleep when you are logged into to your everyday user account

It should go into sleep mode, now wake it up and close the lid to initiate sleep mode that way. wait for the sleep to initiate it can take quite some time (1min). On my mac i can check that the led startes to “breathe” when it sleeps. On newer macs i am not sure how to check if it sleeps.

last wait for the mac to enter sleep mode itself (check energy saver and set the timer to standard settings or some timing that is realistic for your patience)
