You should switch to the tab that you want to close and close it. Here is my example :

store window handle | root |    
click | xpath_to_link_element |

after executing of these commands root tab is saved and new tab opens. New window settings were set like this:

select window | handle=${userAgreement} |

This command make browser switch to a new tab.

close | userAgreement |
select window | handle=${root} |

Close new tab and switch back.
