You used a '!' at the end of your command. See :help :normal. Using a '!' says "don't use any mappings". This is a rare case where you actually need to leave it off.

You might have another problem, because you get two window numbers, save them off, then try to jump to each in turn to close them.

As soon as you close the first window, all the windows potentially get renumbered. You can pull it off by always jumping to and closing the largest numbered window number first.
