Laptop doesn't suspend when lid close on kernels post -lts

I've been using the -lts kernel for a while, now I'm trying the -ARCH and the -ck kernels. In both I've the same issue, no suspend is executed when I close the lid.
'/etc/systemd/logind.conf' is untouched, and 'journalctl -b' shows that the open and close actions of the lid are registered by 'systemd-logind'.
I use no login manager, it automatically logs in and starts X, with xmonad and no desktop environment.
The suspend when lid closed with the -lts kernel is working perfectly.

* 'systemctl suspend' works fine.
** It appears that after a while powered on (several hours, last time I tried), the lid works as expected.

The systemd lid handling didn't work very well for me either so I just have a lid handler script that checks /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state and suspends if its contains "closed"
