Depends on the definition of "closed flower".
If you mean a flower that is enclosed with petals which are open, such as an Orchid, then the answer would be yes. This happens with many different types of flowers, some which have special adaptations to target a specific insect pollinator.
If you mean a closed flower that has not yet opened, then the answer is almost definitely no. When the petals are closed and folded together the stigma and anthers are not yet mature; this means that even if an insect were able to get between the closed petals there sex organs of the flower would not yet be receptive to pollination.
Generally insect pollination takes place in open flowers but there are specific cases of insect pollination in closed flowers as in case of many species of Ficus, Lotus etc.
