Just a thought... I'm running Debian Jessie and I see the same behavior with my Thinkpad T500. In my case the reason is the Network Manager. I have 2 NFS shares mounted over Wifi. The Network Manager stops Wifi before unmounting the NFS shares. This leads to a looooong time out. After that, I see the "Reached target Shutdown" message and the system in still powered. I have to unmount the NFS volumes first and than I can shutdown the system.
