I think I found the problem. Can you please run qdbusviewer and check property 
LidIsPresent of org.freedesktop.UPower (like in the following screenshot)?

If it returns false, then it's not possible for KDE to react to lid closing.

The check was added in KDE SC 4.8:

workspace/repository/revisions/2cd3ae89884878a5ca263183e77ec8fae7659986

I'll try to take care of this in the next months. Meanwhile, I'll save the 
link of a bug report connected to the feature (which is probably unrelated to 
our problem, but I don't want to lose it):
