A wise man once helped me.

In the folder where jquery-ui.css is located, create a folder named "images" and copy the below files into it:

ui-icons_444444_256x240.png

ui-icons_555555_256x240.png

ui-icons_777620_256x240.png

ui-icons_777777_256x240.png

ui-icons_cc0000_256x240.png

ui-icons_ffffff_256x240.png

and the close icon appears.

Even loading bootstrap after jquery-ui, I was able to fix using this:

.ui-dialog-titlebar-close:after {
   content: 'X' !important;
   position: absolute;
   top: -2px;
   right: 3px;
}

I am late to this one by a while, but I'm going to blow your mind, ready?

The reason this is happening, is because you are calling bootstrap in, after you are calling jquery-ui in.

Literally, swap the two so that instead of:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

it becomes

<script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.js"></script>

Edit - 26/06/2015 - this keeps attracting interest months later so I thought it was worth an edit. I actually really like the noConflict solution offered in the comment underneath this answer and clarified by user Pretty Cool as a separate answer. As some have reported issues with the bootstrap tooltip when the scripts are swapped. I didn't experience that issue however because I downloaded jquery UI without the tooltip as I didn't need it because bootstrap. So this issue never came up for me.

Edit - 22/07/2015 - Don't confuse jquery-ui with jquery! While Bootstrap's JavaScript requires jQuery to be loaded before, it doesn't rely on jQuery-UI. So jquery-ui.js can be loaded after bootstrap.min.js, while jquery.js always needs to be loaded before Bootstrap.

As a reference, this is how I extended the open method as per @john-macintyre's suggestion:

$.widget( "ui.dialog", $.ui.dialog, {
	open: function() {
		$(this.uiDialogTitlebarClose)
			.html("<span class='ui-button-icon-primary ui-icon ui-icon-closethick'></span><span class='ui-button-text'>close</span>");
		// Invoke the parent widget's open().
		return this._super();
	}
});
