You can do that with acpid, adjusting things in /etc/acpi/actions and
/etc/acpi/events

For example:

[mafra@Pilar:~]$ cat /etc/acpi/events/lid
event=button/lid
action=/etc/acpi/actions/sleep.sh %e

[mafra@Pilar:~]$ cat /etc/acpi/actions/sleep.sh
#!/bin/sh

# if launched through a lid event and lid is open, do nothing
echo "$1" | grep "button/lid" && grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state 
&& exit 0

echo -n "mem" > /sys/power/state &

su -c "xlock -mode matrix -display :0.0" mafra
