I cannot possibly imagine how vim could affect suspending in any
way. are you running in X?
worst case I suppose you could load vim in screen, or just hit ^Z to
suspend the vim session then 'fg' to restore it. vim doesn't interact
with the hardware in any way so it seems incredibly unlikely to me
that vim would be the cause.
it is not uncommon(for me at least) to have a laptop not suspend while
in X. the workaround for me is to either risk CTRL+ALT+F1 and hope
X can come back after a resume, or exit X and suspend from the console.
