After observing a lot I noticed that alongside with the intermittent failure also had an error message "PM: Device 00:06 failed to resume: error -19" that always appeared for a second before hibernate/suspend.
Furthermore sometimes the desktop have returned and whenever I moved the mouse (touchpad) I had an endless list of messages in syslog ([drm: hsw_unclaimed_reg_clear] * ERROR * Unknown unclaimed register before writing to 70088). This led me to investigate the touchpad. Researching I found mention in various forums about the touchpad on some SONY VAIOs notebooks where was suggested inserting the following kernel parameter in /etc/default/grub. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX = "i8042.nopnp" After that run sudo update-grub and reboot. Hardly believe it, but thereafter there were no more error messages and the notebook hibernate/suspend and resume without problem.
