I added a comment in LightDM Bug Report No. 1631707 about the lack of support for Suspend/Hibernate for non-systemd installations:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1631707

As a result, LightDM developer Robert Ancell has kindly pushed a modified version of my patch that also fixes support for KDE greeters into the LightDM trunk, 1.20, 1.18 and 1.10 branches. So hopefully upcoming LightDM versions 1.21.4, 1.20.1, 1.18.4 and 1.10.7 will include support for Suspend/Hibernate on the login screen for both non-systemd and systemd installations. His commit log explains the update as follows:

Use power management functions from ConsoleKit2 if available.

Suspend and hibernate functionality was removed from upower 0.99.0, so systems not using systemd had no suspend/hibernate functionality. Support for this was added into ConsoleKit2.

Most systems will either be systemd or ConsoleKit2 now, so we try the following:
1. Power management in logind
2. Power management in ConsoleKit
3. upower for suspend/resume (really only here to not break backwards
   compatibility)

Based on a patch for Gentoo by Fitzcarraldo.
