This doesn't work for me - macbook pro only goes to sleep when I close the lid even with the monitor attached. Anything else I can try?

Whenever I close the lid of my macbook pro it goes to sleep, even if I press keys on the keyboard or the mouse. The only way I can use it is when the lid is open a little bit. What else can I try?
