I don't think I have enough knowledge to solve this or say anything for certain, but I wonder if the power button is treated as an external keyboard and is getting ignored in tablet mode?
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Curious what it the exact model of your laptop?
Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 7415

Maybe the power settings are not set up correctly in Tablet mode (I don't know if there are seperate settings for normal and tablet mode).
Or as another responded, the button might count as a keyboard and thus is disabled in tablet mode. What happens if you press the power button when the device is awake and in tablet mode?

It does nothing.
If anyone could help, that would be great. I am struggling to find an answer after searching for some time.
Edit: that was wrong, 31 is convertible
I might be wrong, but I think I understand why it's happening. Running
$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/chassis_type
I am getting the value 31 (detachable), when I think it should be reporting 32 (convertible)
