my asus taichi21 laptop won't shut down, just goes to sleep, and has to be kept on charger the whole time

[shazz1]

When I push the off switch on my asus taichi21 laptop it only goes to sleep. It does not close down and I have to keep it charging the whole time. Does anybody have any answers or can tell me if there is some other way of shutting the machine down.
Thank you.

Could be a power options setting. Start>Power Options>Choose what to do when I: Push power button: Shutdown

Alternatively, you can simply hold the power button for about 2-3 seconds, that should force the shutdown.
