Most likely this needs to be re-assigned to gnome-settings-daemon, as
gnome-power-manager nowadays only provides
/usr/bin/gnome-power-statistics, but doesn't actually handle power
events anymore.

Are you running gnome in classic mode (fallback) or shell?
Is gnome-settings-daemon running?
What's the output of
gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
