Do you have pmud installed and running?  Do

    service pmud status

It should say that pmud is running.  If it does not, try 

    service pmud start

If this complains about pmud not being found, install the pmud daemon
from the installation disk and try again.  If everything work as
wanted, you may want to tell your machine to start pmud upon boot.
For this, do (as root)

    chkconfig pmud on

Oh yeah, take a look at /etc/sysconfig/power by means of which you
pass options to pmud.  Make sure that there is no -k in there (this
option specifically tells pmud not to put your system to sleep, see
man pmud for details).

This being said...

What kernel do you use?  The stock YDL pre-3.0 kernels do not support
sleep on the 2002 tibooks.  I have the same machine and I managed to
make sleep work only by installing a benh kernel (2.4.20-ben9 and
newer include the code that supports sleep on the Radeon Mobility
cards, older kernels do not).

I am not sure about the YDL 3.0 kernel, since I have not tried it.

Hope this helps,
Stefan
