My Macbook Air 13″ mid-2011 running Bootcamp with Windows 7, had an issues with sleep modes. Whenever I closed the lid or asked Windows to sleep, a reboot was necessary.
After a failed attempt at resetting the SMC, the solution was something else. A selected startup disk was required.

I selected a startup disc in both MacOSX and the Bootcamp configuration and the Mac now supports sleep mode again.
