I began experiencing this recently on 16.04 where it had been working previously: When resuming from suspend both the Bluetooth mouse and keyboard would not reconnect when I began using them.

I eventually traced it to a change I'd made in the GUI - I'd changed the Visibility (Discoverable) setting from "Always" to "Temporarily - 3 minutes".

In this case "systemctl restart bluetooth" service didn't help, but sometimes using "bluetoothctl" and then "power on" and "discoverable yes" would (eventually) kick it into life. Sometimes I'd also need to force a connection to one of the devices from the PC ("devices" then "connect <MAC-ADDRESS>" [ tab-completion works for MAC]) - good job the laptop has a built-in PS/2 keyboard.
