There is M-x bury-buffer RET which allows you to rotate through the
open buffers.  (That may include non-file buffers.)

There are various add-on packages which allow you to rotate through
the buffer list.  An included one is iswitchb.  If you put
(iswitchb-default-keybindings) in ~/.emacs, then you can do C-x b and
then use C-s to rotate forward and C-r to rotate backward through the
buffer list.  After finding the right buffer, hit RET.
