That _is_ the default behaviour - the laptop should do nothing at all
when the lid is closed. I know of no particular hardware/BIOS that
sets a sleep action upon lid closure. It is only altered by userspace
tools/daemons like for eg. when using a DE. You might want to check
what else is enforcing a rule to the lid-closing state.
