The issue is solved temporary using the method in this forum, but only if I have fresh boot, if i suspend my laptop and wake it again, Ubuntu will ignore my rules, and suspend when i close the lid.

Go to the system settings and then click on Power. On that menu, you can configure the closed lid behavior.

Power
