Flowers wilted?

After this stage of the flowers:

The flowers simply closed and slightly wilted, is there a chance that they haven't been pollinated, or is this supposed to happen after pollination?

I suspect it was pollinated. It not pollinated, the blossoms just drop off. If pollinated, they stay around until the tiny fruit starts to form.

This has been referenced here a couple times before:

it is a nice photo series showing the development of a tomato from blossom to ripening.
