Did you modify grub accordingly since switching from swap partition to
file, and reboot?  My very basic understanding, after reading a single
Google hit, is that hibernation to/from swap has a dependency on a grub
entry.  Thus, the problem you have now is not due to switching to a swap
file per se.  It's due to the hibernation code not automatically
recognizing you did so.

Did you read any of the Google search results?  All of the answers you
need should be there, or not far away.
