Looks like I have the same problem on a Sony Vaio SVP132A1CL,
ubuntustudio 14.04.3 LTS.

# uname -a:
Linux abc 3.16.0-53-lowlatency #72~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 6 
19:22:01 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

# while : ; do cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state ; sleep 1; done
state:      open
state:      open
state:      closed
state:      open

# dmesg | grep -i lid:
[    0.681415] input: Lid Switch as 
/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0C0D:00/input/input0
[    0.681712] ACPI: Lid Switch [LID0]

# acpid -ldd:
Deprecated /proc/acpi/event was not found.  Trying netlink and the input 
layer...
input layer /dev/input/event0 (Lid Switch) opened successfully, fd 4
input layer /dev/input/event1 (Power Button) opened successfully, fd 5
acpid: waiting for events: event logging is on
acpid: received input layer event "button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000"
[closing lid does nothing]

Interestingly, there are no other buttons defined in /proc/acpi/button/.
There doesn't seem to be any activity on /dev/input/event0.

Workaround to lock screen on lid close (run in Settings manager/Session
and start-up/Application Autostart):

#!/bin/sh
while :
do
        while grep -q close /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state
                do sleep 5; done
        #echo "close->open"
        while grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state
                do sleep 1; done
        #echo "open->close"
        xflock4
done

Hope this helps.
