1) Please report a new bug about the suspend-to-RAM problem on your system: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend
2) Regarding the hibernation feature, please check the bug #882040; meanwhile, probably you can still use the "sudo pm-hibernate" from console.

Bug description:
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  TO RE-ENABLE HIBERNATE: If the hibernate option is supported by your system and you need it, you can re-enable it as follows: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html

  You may be also interested in subscribing to the bug #882040, which tracks the implementation of a configuration tool to toggle hibernate and suspend.
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  I'd like to propose a change in the design of Power preferences in the
  GNOME control center: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power

  Instead of going through the "certification" path, we can simply
  disable the options about suspend/hibernate if it's not supported on
  the current hardware (we have API for this in upower).

  I think this solution is more scalable, as we do not need to maintain
  a database with "certified" hardware. Also, we can add a button or a
  informative text when suspend/hibernate doesn't work to guide the
  users about what to do.
