It is the normal function of laptop computers, of any kind, to go to sleep when the lid is closed.
Seems the logical thing to do. Rather like the light in the fridge going out when you close the door.
Sorry

So when I close my lid on my g4 tiger os ibook, it goes into sleep, how can I make it so it takes no action at all?
