Hi. If you find a command that works (eg., sudo shutdown -h now, sudo halt, systemctl poweroff) you could map that command to your power button in XFCE Keyboard Shortcuts. This might route around your issue, but you won't get to find out what is currently causing the hang, which might be worth knowing (some rouge service that is not exiting cleanly, perhaps). 

Cheers.

Who knows, but if it recognises the hardware, just touching the on/off 
button ought to do a shutdown in a reasonable time frame. I don't know the 
last time I actually typed (or used the GUI) shutdown commands...
