He reacts to the locutionary act, the interrogative sentence itself, but not the illocutionary act, the request to close the box.

Austin's shot at the thoery is the claim that there are two types of sentences :performatines an dconstatives ."can you close the box ?"is a locutionary act ,but the perlocutionary act is the othe person did noyhing .The answer "yes" actually is "yes ,I can close the box for you ",so this sentence is a constative, because his words did not accopany his words and one can accuse him of making a false statement. The conversational implicature is the person wanna the other to do the work for him ,so the answer also break the quality maxim in cooperative principle .Because since the other person did not do yhe thing ,the answer is untrue.......大概就这样了吧
