Oracle will not complete a normal shutdown until all users have disconnected. Is it possible that you have users connected when shutting down? Back in the version 5 days it would give you back a message saying it was 'waiting for x connections to clear'. (I used to run around trying to find them!) Now in 6+7 it just sits there. The next most forceful method is 'shutdown immediate' which will terminate connections, rollback uncommitted data, and shutdown. 'Shutdown abort' just kills all the processes.
