Did you try the advice in the section "Hidden ssids" 
in /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz ?

For your convenience:

Hidden ssids
============

For reference, see #358137. In order to be able to associate to hidden ssids, 
please try to set the option 'ap_scan=1' in the global section, and 
'scan_ssid=1' in your network block section of your wpa_supplicant.conf file.
If you are using the managed mode, you can do so by these stanzas:

iface eth1 inet dhcp
	wpa-conf managed
	wpa-ap-scan 1
	wpa-scan-ssid 1
	# ... additional options for your setup

According to #368770, association can take a very long time to associate to 
WEP 
secured networks. In some cases, setting the parameter 'ap_scan=2' in the
config file, (or using a 'wpa-ap-scan 2' stanza, which is equivalent) can
greatly help to speed up association.

Thanks, Kel.
