Ive found the solution to the problem and thought i would post it back here to share with all. Anyone with a later model of an ASUS motherboard will find that this is the answer:
It is as i expected above, the BIOS was forcing the computer to wake back up because the USB device wakeup jumpers were set to "1-2" instead of "2-3" which basically means that there was no power going to the USB Device Wakeup for the computer to sleep hence why it keeps waking the computer up.
To clarify further to any readers, there is an S1 sleep function and an S3, S1 puts the computer in a low power state with tasks still running though whereas S3 is a complete sleep i.e. no tasks running. When you set the jumpers on the USB device wakeup to "2-3" then you are enabling the S3 mode which is what you want :).
