I had the same problem when my R50e was suspended with the iwi module loaded.
The laptop did not respond even though it seemed to resume.
When I suspended my laptop without the module I could resume it just fine from X and back to X.
Try to disable some of your devices and suspend your laptop.
Maybe my notes on R50e can help as well:
