when i put a cd in my drive and close it,

it sometimes dosent recognise the cd until i eject the drive and close it again,

is this normal with laptops??

why should it need cleaning??

Unless you have a slot-load drive then your drive's lense assemply is very susceptible to dust accumulation. A lense cleaner and compressed air ought to do the trick.
