I've read through many of the questions on AskUbuntu about disabling the lock-screen. Everything I've tried, from setting the lock-screen to "Off" in the Privacy window, to setting the dconf flag:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen true

Nothing seems to work, still when I close the lid of my laptop and open it the lock-screen appears and asks for my password.

The answer is to set the ubuntu-lock-on-suspend flag rather than the disable-lock-screen flag:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver ubuntu-lock-on-suspend false

This must arise because Ubuntu Gnome is using Ubuntu to handle to the lid-close and locking mechanism which is not what the Gnome utilities/settings are set to handle.
