Instead of if not, we can use unless. “ if ” + negative action = “unless” + positive action The meaning of both sentences is the same, but the action after ‘unless’ (close) is the opposite of the action after ‘if’ (don’t close). Compare: Your bird will fly away if you don’t close the window. Your bird will fly away unless you close the window.
