Looks right, there it is.

What happens when you press the power button? Nothing? Also, is the 
machine fully up and running when you press the button or has it returned 
from hibernation/suspension?

Ensure you have an updated system and if you are curious enough, there's 
a litte program you can install ("kacpimon") to monitor the acpi events. 
It will tell you what's going on when you press the power button.
