MacBook Pro doesn't hibernate when runs out of battery

Question

Dear all,
I've been experiencyng this issue for quite a while now and is very frustrating. My MacBook Pro (Early 2011) doens't go to sleep as it should when runs out of battery. It simply dies. This is not a continuous issues as it happens 1/2 oh the times that battery runs out and I cannot connect it to power (low battery warning is also working perfectly).
Mac is stock besides HDD (now SSD) and RAMs. Battery stock as well and loks good in sysinfo (attached):
Battery Information:
  Model Information:
  Serial Number:          D##########
  Manufacturer:          SMP
  Device Name: ######
  Pack Lot Code:          0
  PCB Lot Code:          0
  Firmware Version:          406
  Hardware Revision:          2
  Cell Revision:          158
  Charge Information:
  Charge Remaining (mAh):          6020
  Fully Charged:          Yes
  Charging:          No
  Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          6020
  Health Information:
  Cycle Count:          853
  Condition:          Normal
  Battery Installed:          Yes
  Amperage (mA):          0
  Voltage (mV):          12461
It doesn't at all appear to be a HW issues, as batteries behaves normally and system sleeps corretcly at times. Indeed, seems to be a software issue as also running a pm set command in terminal after mac died returned this result:

It seems that Address book service prevents system from sleeping.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi all,
Thnk you for the reply.
@andyBall: I though that the battery might run out sooner than what it reports, however it typically behaves behaves quite well - 5+ hours after fully charged and approximately 10 minutes of operation after low battery warning. Very hard that battery is running out before the system realize that. Yet I have to try the SMC reset. Will revert.
@SilverSkyRat: I have one iCloud and one Gmail for work. Today I have disabled both and OS hibernated well (no failure). Later in the day I reactivated Gmail and system still hibernated fine. I mainly use the Mac for work therefore it's rather difficult to perform continus test of this kind. Although, system somtimes hibernates fine with also all account active.
General question, which are the program associated with "Address Book Source Sync"? Only "Contacts"?
Also, I have Little Snitch on the computer, may this be anyhow linked with this issue in your opinion/experience?
Best regards,
Alex
