It could be 2 cases:

1) somebody has the files still open, lsof or fuser -m would help
identifying the process
2) if the tablespace was temporary tablespace and its files were unused
sparse files, then the files weren't using much disk space anyway - thus
there was no space to release back to filesystem.

What arguments did you pass to lsof?  I've found "lsof +L1" to work rather
well in your scenario, although it may need to be run by root rather than
the oracle account.
