For figures with modified closeRequestFcn functions,
close all force

@Pintu Saini I assum you're responding to Dishant's answer rather than my comment directly under the answer. I've also added a new answer that may be more visible.

Update
close all force
% or
close('all','force')
In R2016a, Matlab introduced uifigure which has hidden handles by default so they go undetected by the "close all" request. Figure handle visiblilty can be changed from the HandleVisibility property.
