On a MacBook Air, you don't. Apple menu > Sleep. The Touch ID Sensor is not a Power Button, technically.

On a MacBook Pro, you can add a Sleep button to the Touch Bar. But the Air has no Touch Bar.

A long press of the Touch ID / Power button is how you perform a hard shutdown of a Mac.

What is it that you're trying to do?
