Jib71's suggestions seems the best.
Are you on a layover or will you be venturing back to Tokyo the next day? If you're staying in town for a few days, then you have some other options hotels with onsen further from the airport like the Dormy Inns.
Here's three spas open at midnight in Tokyo

Personally, for something near Haneda, I'd probably stay in a business class hotel room with a bath tub and save the cash for a ryokan or super sento experience instead.
Tokyu Stay also opened a hotel in Kamata last year and they're still offering opening specials of 5,580 - 6,900 JPY/night for a B type single occupancy room with bathtub in Feb-March. It's connected by the Keikyu Airport Line to Keikyukamata Station

On a mostly off topic note - New Chitose airport now has a Manyo club onsen in the airport
