it's also weird because
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy has
<action id="org.freedesktop.login1.suspend">
...
<defaults>
<allow_any>auth_admin_keep</allow_any>
<allow_inactive>auth_admin_keep</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>
</defaults>
Which means the active session should be allowed
Is you user an admin one?

Title:
Desktop unable to Suspend when Inactive
Status in policykit-desktop-privileges package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On 16.04 (XFCE session and others) and possibly later the power-
manager is unable to suspend the system when the user is inactive. A
PK user-agent dialog is presented for the user to authenticate first -
and as this action occurs specifically when the user is idle and away
the PC can end up having an unplanned loss of power when the battery
is exhausted.
/var/log/auth.log shows:
polkitd(authority=local): Operator of unix-session:c2 FAILED to
authenticate to gain authorization for action
org.freedesktop.login1.suspend for system-bus-name::1.47 [xfce4-power-
manager --restart --sm-client-id 2992705d4-6fa2-4fba-966c-
f7631ecd0b46] (owned by unix-user:tj)
The problem seems to be "com.ubuntu.desktop.pkla" is missing an entry
to allow Suspend. Currently it only has an entry for hibernate.
Adding the following stanza solves the issue:
[Enable suspend by default in logind]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.login1.suspend;org.freedesktop.login1.inhibit-handle-suspend-key;org.freedesktop.login1;org.freedesktop.login1.suspend-multiple-sessions;org.freedesktop.login1.suspend-ignore-inhibit
ResultActive=yes
ResultInactive=yes
