In some rare cases, closing certain apps can indeed save battery power. For example, Downcast, Instapaper, and even Dropbox can monitor your location to perform certain tasks when your location changes. They will continue to do this even if you switch to another app or reboot your device. At times when saving battery power is essential, closing these apps can help. This applies not only to apps which monitor your location, but also to apps which are allowed to continue running indefinitely including VOIP apps.
In most cases, aside from exceptions such as the examples above, apps are suspended by iOS after some time, I believe ten minutes, so closing them will not save battery power.
