try resetting the SMC and PRAM. Google how to do it.

I've had this always. I think it's normal, but I could be wrong. If you find a fix let me know

Edit: It takes mine about 17 seconds to go to sleep, but waking it is almost instant.

I don't have it anymore since update 2.0. I had to reset the SMC as well. Before it used to take up to 20 seconds to sleep and 30 to exit from it. Now it takes about 3-4 seconds to enter sleep mode (e.g. using menu) and the same time to exit it. So, one more problem solved.

Why using the menu and not closing the lid that makes the laptop go to sleep?

Well, that works too. I was just stating an example of how I tested it. I tried to reproduce the old behavior many times without success. I simply didn't want to open and shut the lid 30 times in a row.
