Ignore "prevent sleep" request from a specific app

I sometimes have the problem that my macbook won't sleep, even with the lid closed.
After some investigation I tracked the problem down to Spotify app; when the app is open, even if no song is playing, my macbook won't go to sleep and eventually go out of battery power.
I don't have need of spotify keeping my mac awake (for obvious reason I'm ok with a video player or a game instead); is there a way to ignore its request for preventing sleep without affecting other applications?
I know I could quit spotify when not using it, but I am prone to forget it and it's very annoying to find my mac completely drained...
EDIT: to be clearer, I am not looking for a solution about Spotify specifically (I could simply uninstall it and forget about it), I am just looking for an option which is the default in both Linux and Windows, that is that the user always overrides any setting when he/she closes the lid.
