What's the machine?
Did anything change about the time this started?
Does it do this if you force it into standby or only after the automatic delayed version?
Sounds a bit like you have something that isn't coming out of its power saving mode. It can be caused by an old/buggy BIOS, BIOS power settings, chipset, drivers, etc. Getting the whole thing to come back to life is a dance and any little subsystem that doesn't cooperate can tank the works. Check for updates and see what happens.
