I'd send them a written notice giving 48 hours for payment to be made otherwise the section of their site will be taken down and replaced with a notice explaining the site has been removed for non payment.
A strongly worded letter or email explaining that not only is it unacceptable to be failing to pay invioces without explaination along with instruction that any further overdue invoices will be subject to an overdue charge would be the best bet followed by removal of the work.
Don't give them the source files unless they've paid for them as part of the contract. They don't need them and normal practice is to deliver the final product not the workings.
I wish I could avoid paying my bills because I don't want to but unfortunately if I don't pay the electric or gas bill, they don't phone me loads of times and not do anything, they cut me off. If my bank account is overdrawn, they don't just ignore it, they stop my cash card and charge me the earth. I don't see why we should be any different just because we work in design.
