Actually, your mistake is obvious from the man page:

|        To set up an input postprocessor, set the LESSCLOSE
| environment  variable  to a command line which will invoke
| your input postprocessor.  It may include two  occurrences

| nal name of the file and the second with the name  of  the
| replacement file, which was output by LESSOPEN.

I.e., you need LESSCLOSE="$HOME/bin/lessclose.sh %s %s".

Make "less" your pager for viewing man pages (and default pager in
general).

export PAGER=/usr/bin/less
