Rolling once for sneaking right up behind them allows you to tell how close they CAN get before getting caught by looking at their margin of failure. And it only takes one roll.

I like the one-roll solution. I'll also look into DF rules.
But for less abstract games, a system involving all of vision, hearing, smell and possibly the more exotic senses would be neat.
