I don't run arch linux, but usually you always go through shutdown, like
shutdown -r now or shutdown -h now. Some of those don't shutdown, like a system halt. You only run explicit halt to halt without flushing the disk cache or syncing the disk. This is sometimes done during filesystem repair, where you don't want to write the in memory superblocks to disk.
I know on Ubuntu variants, there is a pm command that first tells you if you can hiberate and suspend, like pm-suspend, pm-hibernate. Some devices cannot hibernate, however. So it will not hibernate or not give you the option to do so.
