I'm willing to bet, that if you put the periscope down, and wait a few seconds, your hydrophones will be working again, or at the very least, have your sonarman reporting contacts again.
Green crew has nothing to do with this. Its a game limitation of being able to only use one sensor at a time, with one sensor overriding the other. Visual contact, seems to over ride radar and sonar.
Hydrophones are a bit wierd in that you can hear ships if you man the station yourself, but your sonarman will not report the contacts, nor will you see contact lines on the nav map. The caveat here is that a couple ships are buggy in that they won't be audible if they are traveling below 7 kts, although your sonarman will report them none the less.
Typically though, if your doing a submerged periscope attack, and you want your sonarman to call contacts, you have to put the scope down to break visual contact. I've done this so much in the past, it doesn't even occur to me anymore.
