How do I get vagrant halt to successfully shut down debian jessie vm on yosemite host?

Whenever I attempt to run vagrant halt, it says “default: Attempting graceful shutdown of VM…” but eventually times out and says ” default: Forcing shutdown of VM…” sometimes this works and sometimes it leaves the VM in running state, according to the VirtualBox UI.

Here are the details of the system: Host: OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite, Virtual Box 5.0.4, w/extension pack, Vagrant 1.7.4 VM: Debian Jessie 8.2.0 64bit, 2 GB Ram

Help! It seems like vagrant halt should be able to gracefully stop the VM?
