If it is a multiple turn faucet, you need a new washer in it. If it is a quarter turn one, it needs a new seat and spring.
When a faucet fails to close
1- Check the washer
2- Check the seat
3- Check for any debris that maybe have blocked the washer retaining ring from compressing against the valve seat
4- The spline on the valve (threads) maybe damaged as not to be able to close tightly or the bonnet nut threads are worn and thus will not work properly
