I made code that works as requested, but it's not accepted by the code challenge.

I guess the code speaks for itself

instances.py 
def combiner(strnumlist):
    strsum = ''
    numsum = 0


    for x in range(0, len(strnumlist)):
        if isinstance(strnumlist[x], (int, long, float, complex)):
            numsum += strnumlist[x]
        elif isinstance(strnumlist[x], str):
            strsum += strnumlist[x]

    return strsum + str(numsum)
