Then the system is not actually asleep. If it's not sleeping by itself, you may need to change the Energy Saver settings. If it really won't sleep and you have it set to sleep, then try looking at the Activity Monitor to see if something's running in the background that keeps it from sleeping. (Note that many things are normally running in the background. You'll want to look for any particularly high activity levels.)

The Yosemite B&W G3 can't fully sleep due to a hardware bug. It spins down the hard drive, turns off PCI cards, turns off external devices, and slows down the motherboard electronics. The main power supply remains fully on. (The sleep power supply is behind the power light and it feeds the RAM banks. That system doesn't fully work.)

If it's a Mac that does support deep sleep, check that the PCI cards support it too.
