Well, I've sorted the issue (mostly).
I checked to see which devices enable the comp to wake from sleep (I'm also thinking would prevent it from going to sleep as well)
To check, open Command Prompt (run as Administrator) go to System32 and type
Powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
this will give you the list of of devices which can wake the comp. Go to Device Manager, find those devices and uncheck the "wake the comp" box for one at the time, and it should enable both Sleep and Hibernation function.
I had to uncheck all of the devices (including the keyboard), although after restart I was able to check the keyboard again and the computer was able to go to sleep and into hibernation.
I still don't see an option for Hyber Sleep, but at least the other options are functional.
