Probably shifted from it's original spot. Look closely at the latch as you close it and see where it wants to be. Get your wrench out and adjust accordingly.

if your Hood align perfect with fenders/headlights.. Just adjust your latch like Fungus stated!

My hood also wont close after I pop it. The problem is the cable, its like stretched. What I do is push down on the hood latch cable and then the hood closes.
