The light is primarily absorbed by your clothing (or skin) and turned into heat. The only difference is that when held closely against you, the light from the the flash-light doesn't scatter, and is concentrated in a small area.

The light that is reflected from your body surface back towards the bulb hits the reflector and bounces back onto your body. Due to losses in the bulb, glass and reflector, all of the light is converted to heat at some point, some in your clothing or body surface, and some in the flash-light.

With a strong enough flash-light, you can feel heat absorbed through your clothing.

When you shine a flashlight in to the sky does it ever come back or is it sucked into a black hole?

When you aim your flashlight at the sky, some of the light is scattered by dust or water vapor in the air. If you can see the beam, you're seeing SCATTERED light that has been reflected back to your eyes. The beam of a flashlight isn't "collimated" - the light isn't focused into a very narrow beam. So the light spreads out. The light that spreads out and makes it through the atmosphere keeps going approximately straight out into space until it hits something. A meteor, a planet, a dust cloud, a black hole; whatever. If the light doesn't hit anything, it keeps going - forever. However, even though the light from your flashlight is traveling into space at the speed of light, so is the light from every OTHER flashlight, street light, car headlight, reflected starlight and moonlight - all mixed in together. So even though your light will go on forever, "your" light is probably indistinguishable from all the rest of the light from Earth. If you aim your flashlight at the Moon, then some tiny fraction of the moonlight that you see three seconds later is light from your flashlight, reflected back to you. And to everyone else on Earth who is looking at the Moon right then.
