I have my 2010 Mac Pro set to put itself to sleep after 30 minutes of no activity. If I am not at the computer but working in my study and listening to music on the mac Pro either via iTunes, QuickTime, of VLC, the machine puts itself to sleep after the 30 minutes of my not touching the keyboard.

My MacBook Pro doesn't do that...if music is playing, then the MBP stays awake.

Is this simply a design difference between the machines, or is there a setting somewhere on the Mac Pro I don't know about?

(I'm running Yosemite on both machines)
