With BootStrap 3, you can try this:-

var visible_modal = jQuery('.modal.in').attr('id'); // modalID or undefined
if (visible_modal) { // modal is active
    jQuery('#' + visible_modal).modal('hide'); // close modal
}

Tested to work with: http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#modals (click on "Launch Demo Modal" first).
