I don't think I'm well read enough with modern books to know what will exactly be classics, but I would imagine that with things like the Nobel Prize, Pulitzer Prizes, The National Book Awards, etc... some of those will end up as classics.
I don't think they have to have the mass popularity, but books like The Kite Runner or authors like Toni Morrison, Don Delilo, even Stephen King could end up as classics. I know there are many more.
I was actually surprised by how well written Stephen King is when it comes to his shorter Novellas/Short Stories like the compilation Different Seasons. I also enjoy it when he steps out of his straight up horror stuff.
The typical classic though will probably end up being more in the vein of social commentary as they often are.
