You could redefine \@makecaption like this:
\long\def\@makecaption#1#2{%
\vskip\abovecaptionskip
\sbox\@tempboxa{#1: #2}%
\ifdim \wd\@tempboxa >\hsize
% #1: #2\par
\sbox\@tempboxa{#1}
\advance\hsize by -\wd\@tempboxa%
#1: \vtop{#2}
\else
\global \@minipagefalse
\hb@xt@\hsize{\hfil\box\@tempboxa\hfil}%
\fi
\vskip\belowcaptionskip}
