It is my understanding that 'out of the box' Drupal does NOT use a template suggestion for page templates based on content type. Page templates are overridden by default for the front page or specific nodes only. Node templates CAN be used per content type by default (node template are not what you're asking about.) Plenty of information on http://drupal.org/node/190815 (as already mentioned in this thread.)
To use a page template per content type, I believe you will need to use a custom function in template.php. The one provided by Aldo seems like it should work. It could be that you need to clear the theme cache (http://drupal.org/node/173880#theme-registry).
Or maybe the function is not being processed. You could simply rename the function (.._preprocess_...) and that may help. Or, rename $vars with $variables. Take a look at these two pages.

Sorry I can't be more help with the exact naming to use.

Is there nothing more that you did for this? I just plugged this in replacing the version of that method I had before and it did not work. It's still not recognizing my page-type.tpl.php.
Did you mean to name the file template.tpl.php, or did you mean template.php?
