This might be a stupid question, but do you have a swap partition which is sufficiently large to hibernate?
By default linux installations hibernate by writing the memory to the swap partition. If your swap is smaller than your memory, or you do not have a swap partition this might prevent you from hibernating.

Still struggling - am stuck at the idea of increasing my SWAP partition to 8GB, but fearing it may corrupt my OS's (I have a dual boot: Linux Mint 15 & Win 7) plus another data partition (this too is NTFS)

In my experience, I've found that usually something else is going on, other than an improperly sized swap partition. Every time I have seen too small of a partition used, the problem would be detected and the system will still halt, but never hangs.
