a person closing a door does not describe a non-contact force.

The correct answer is: a person picking up a textbook. When a person picks up a textbook, they do not have to physically touch the textbook in order to lift it. The force of gravity acting on the textbook is an example of a non-contact force.
Ah, I think gravity made the water fall.
